directions

  • Preheat oven 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy.
  • Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Set aside.
  • In other mixer bowl beat egg yolks on high speed for one minute.
  • Add the sugar, salt, lemon juice, and zest.
  • Beat on high speed for 5 minutes.
  • By hand, with a spatula, fold the flour quickly into the yolk mixture.
  • Add about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the mixture and fold in also.
  • Add the remaining whites in two additions, folding and combining well but not deflating the air beaten into the whites. Little patches of white still show, that's okay.
  • Place in an UNGREASED angel food TUBE pan.
  • Bake for 40 minutes; top will be a nice golden brown.
  • Remove from oven to a rack to cool for one hour undisturbed.
  • Loosen around edges and bottom with sharp knife.
  • Tip cake out of pan onto rack and cool completely before serving or storing.
