Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons will give your dessert a brighter, more intense flavor. If you can't find fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use 100% lemon juice, not a lemon-lime blend.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your dessert tough. Beat them until they are stiff peaks, but not dry.
  • Fold the egg whites gently into the batter: Folding the egg whites gently will help to keep them light and fluffy. Don't overmix, or you will deflate the egg whites.
  • Bake the dessert until it is set: The dessert is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake, or the dessert will be dry.
  • Chill the dessert before serving: Chilling the dessert will help it to set and will also make it easier to slice.
