My Aunt Pauline made the best Lemon Sponge Cake ever. I just recently got a hold of her recipe. I have not made it yet, but plan to in the near future. Ingredients:
6 egg yolks |
6 egg whites |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
1/4 teaspoon almond extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Directions:
1. Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2. Gradually add sugar then extracts.
3. Fold in flour sifted with salt a little at a time.
4. Beat egg white until foamy, add cream of tartar and beat until they form moist glossy peaks.
5. Gold into egg yolk mixture.
6. Bake in ungreased tube pan in 325 degree oven, one hour.
