Category: Cakes, Lowfat
1 c Sifted Cake Flour*
1 1/2 c Sugar; (Divided In Half)
1 1/2 c Egg Whites (11 Or 12
-Usually); room temperature
1 1/2 c Cream of tartar
1/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 ts Vanilla
-----------------------------------GLAZE-----------------------------------
1/2 c Confectioner's sugar
Fresh Lemon Juice**
*measured after sifting
**enough to make a dribbly glaze, but not too thin
Sift flour with half the sugar. In a large whipping bowl put the whites,
cream of tartar, salt and vanilla, and whip until soft peaks form. Then
begin adding the rest of the sugar 2 T. at a time, whipping well in between
each addition. Continue until STIFF peaks form, then sift a quarter of the
flour mixture over top. Fold into whites with a spatula, gently. Fold in
remaining flour by quarters. Carefully, pour into an ungreased angel tube
pan and gently cut the batter -through here and there with a knife to
remove air pockets. Bake 40 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Cool
cake upside down on top of a funnel for an hour, then run a knife around
the edges and unmold onto a plate. Mix the confectioner's sugar and the
lemon juice together well, and when the cake is totally cooled, drizzle it
over the top.
