Ingredients

160 gr cake flour
350 gr sugar
425 gr egg whites
14 eggs
7 ml cream of tartar
1 gr salt
7 gr vanilla
5 egg yolks
16 gr cake flour
26 gr sugar
6 gr lemon
100 gr sugar
16 gr cornstarch
240 ml water
45 gr lemon
14 gr butter

Instructions

Bake at 375.

Sift the flour and 0.75 C. of the sugar together three times. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 C. sugar and continue to beat until very stiff peaks form. Sift about quarter of the flour mixture over the egg whites, gently folding. Repeat with remaining flour mixture, quarter at a time. Fold in vanilla. Remove one-third of the batter and set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks, 2 T. flour and 2 T. sugar until thick and pale yellow. Stir in the lemon peel. Fold about half C. of the reserved batter mixture into eggs to lighten them, then gently fold egg yolk mixture into reserved batter. Spoon white and yellow batters alternately into an ungreased tube pan. Run knife gently through batter to eliminate air pockets and to swirl the batters. Bake in lower third of oven for 35 40 mins. Invert pan to cool. When cool, remove from pan and spoon warm glaze over top or serve sauce on the side.

Glaze: Cook sugar, cornstarch and water over medium heat till smooth and thickened. Add lemon peel, juice and butter and heat till warm.
