4 oz white baking bar, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp finely shredded lemon peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
4 egg whites
LEMON BUTTER FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 cups sifted powdered sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla

Recipe



1 Grease and lightly flour three 9xl 1/2-inch round baking pans; set aside.
2 Combine white baking bar and water in a small saucepan. Heat and stir constantly over low heat till baking bar melts; set aside to cool.
3 Beat butter or margarine in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, beating till combined. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in baking bar mixture, vanilla, and lemon peel. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda in another bowl. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately to beaten mixture, mixing well after each addition.
4 Wash beaters thoroughly. Beat egg whites in another mixing bowl till stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gently fold beaten egg whites into flour mixture. Divide batter among prepared pans.
5 Bake in a 350°F oven about 25 minutes or till a wooden toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cakes from pans. Remove cakes from pans. Cool on racks.
6 Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1/2 cup Lemon Butter Frosting over top of cake layer. Repeat with second cake layer and another 1/2 cup frosting. Top with third cake layer. Frost top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
