Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs, separated and at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar, plus
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup cake flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Grease only the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan and cover with a circle of parchment paper. Do not grease the sides of the pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until light, gradually adding in the sugar. Add in vanilla and lemon and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy, about 1 minute at high speed, then beat in the salt and cream of tartar. Continue beating until the eggs reach soft peaks. Fold egg whites, working in 3 or 4 batches, into the yolk mixture.
  • Sift the flour over the egg mixture, again working in 3 or 4 batches, and gently fold it inches When the batter is uniform, pour into prepared cake pan and bake unil a tester comes out dry and the top of the cake springs back when gently pressed, about 35-45 minutes.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan before cutting around the sides with a sharp knife and turning it out.
  • Slice the cake into 2 or 3 layers (or squares) and fill as desired.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dry and dense, and it didn't have much flavor. I won't be making it again.

This cake is good, but not great. It's a little dry and the flavor is bland. I think it could be improved with some more sugar and vanilla extract.

This recipe was a disaster. The cake was dry and crumbly, and it didn't rise properly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
