- 2 cups sifted cake flour

- 1/4 cup water, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Method
- Set oven to 325 degrees.
- Prepare an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt, then sift one more time, then beat in oil, egg YOLKS, 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons lemon juice, water and lemon peel with an electric mixer at low speed for about 3 minutes.
- In a large dry copper or stainless steel bowl beat the room temperature egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
- Fold in about 1/4 of the whites into the batter to lighten, the gently fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan.
- Tap on the counter to release any air pockets.
- Bake for about 1-1/4 hours, or until the cake is springy to the touch.
- Immediately invert cake in pan over neck of a bottle (I use an empty beer bottle for this).
- Cool the cake completely while inverted.
- Remove the cake from the bottle and place on the counter.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen cake.
- Transfer the cake to a serving plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar.
