Provided by BobLongo

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c. cake flour (sifted)
½ tsp. salt
5 eggs (separated)
½ c. sugar
½ c. Original Molasses
1 tbsp. orange rind (grated)
1 ½ tsp. lemon rind (grated)
2 tsp. lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cook Time: 50 Minutes Yield: 12 Servings Heat oven to 325 degrees. Sift together flour and salt. Beat egg yolks with rotary or electric beater until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in sugar and molasses. Then, by the clock, beat with rotary or beater (low speed) an additional 3 minutes. Stir in orange rind, lemon rind and juice. Add flour mixture, 1/3 at a time, mixing each addition until smooth. When all flour has been added, beat until light and fluffy. Beat egg whites until stiff enough to stand in peaks, but not dry; fold (by hand) into batter. Bake 45 minutes in an ungreased, 9-inch tube cake pan. Turn cake pan upside down on wire cooler. Tips If cake has not dropped out of pan when cold, loosen from sides with spatula.
