    1 cup (250 ml) sour cream
    3 egg whites
    1 Tbs (15 ml) lemon juice
    Grated rind of 1 lemon
    2+1/2 cups (675 ml) all-purpose flour
    1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
    A grating of fresh nutmeg

    Recipe



    Beat the sugar and bitter together until light and fluffy. Add the
    sour cream, egg whites, lemon juice, and lemon rind, and beat until
    smooth. Add the flour, baking soda, and nutmeg and beat until smooth.
    Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350F

    syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Makes 1 cake to serve 8

    Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over

    pouring over cake. Makes about 3/4 cup (180 ml).
