1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Coat 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray, and dust pans
with 1 tablespoon flour.
3. Lightly spoon sifted flour into dry measuring cups; level with a
knife. Combine sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Combine sugar, butter, and oil in a large bowl; beat at medium speed
of a mixer until well-blended (about 5 minutes). Add egg whites, 1 at
a time, beating well after each addition. Combine milk and yogurt.
Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk mixture,
beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in extract.
4. Pour cake batter into prepared pans. Sharply tap pans once on
counter to remove air bubbles. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a
wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10
minutes on wire racks; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire
racks.
5. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with half of lemon filling,
and top with another cake layer. Spread with remaining lemon filling,
and top with last cake layer. Spread fluffy white frosting over top
and sides of cake. Yield: 16 servings.

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

white mixture over barely simmering water in bottom of double boiler
on cooktop. Beat at high speed of a hand-held mixer until stiff peaks

blended. Yield: 4 cups.
Lemon filling:
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Stir in water,

stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cover and
chill at least 1 1/2 hours or up to 2 days. Stir well before using.
