Recipe Introduction


Sponge cake.

(6 egg whites and 4 egg yolks)


List of Ingredients




1 C sifted Swans Down Cake flour
1 C sifted sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 egg whites
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
4 egg yolks, beaten until thick and lemon colored
1/2 tsp lemon extract


Recipe



Sift flour once, measure, add half of sugar, and sift together four times.

Add salt to egg whites and beat with a flat wire whisk. When foamy, add cream of tartar, and continue beating until whisk leaves faint line when drawn across surface of egg whites. Add remaining sugar gradually, and continue beating as before, until texture is very fine and even and egg whites are stiff enough to hold up in peaks, but not dry. Fold in egg yolks and lemon extract. Then sift small amount of flour over mixture and fold in carefully, until all is used.

Pour into ungreased tube pan and bake in slow oven (300 degrees F.) for half an hour. Then increse heat slightly (325 degrees F.) and bake thirty five minutes longer. Remove from oven and invert pan for one hour, or until cake is thoroughly cold, before removing from pan.
