    List of Ingredients




    8 egg whites
    1 dash cream of tartar
    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup butter, softened
    1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 cup sour cream
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds

    Recipe



    1 In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar.

    2 In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    3 In a large bowl, cream the butter or margarine with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in lemon rind, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, along with about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites. Fold in the rest of the egg whites gently but thoroughly. Stir in the almonds. Turn the batter into a greased and floured tube pan.

    4 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 70 minutes, or until it tests done with a toothpick. Cool on a wire rack.
