Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 eggs separated
1 ½ cup sugar
juice and rind of ½ lemon
¾ cup cake meal
¼ cup potato starch

Steps:

  • Beat whites with ½ shell of cold water and salt to egg whites until stiff but not dry. Put aside . In another bowl, beat yolks until thick and lemon colored. Add lemon juice and rind. Fold into whites. Sift cake meal and potato starch and fold into egg mixture. Then pour into angle food tube pan and bake 325 for one hour. When you think cake is done, open oven and listen to make sure cake is not "hissing." If it is, then leave another five minutes and test. Make sure to keep noise at a minimum while cake is baking or it will fall. When you remove cake from oven, invert and cover with a wet towel. Allow to cool completely prior to removing from pan.
