- This recipe is an expansion by the donor of a recipe received by her mother from her aunt in 1884. The original read: "Take the weight of Large eggs in sugar and half the weight in flour; juice and grated rind of lemon." Similar cakes, indeed, were made in colonial America, usually called "light cakes"
- or possibly "soft cakes."
- Beat the egg whites light. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks. Beat the sugar into the yolks gradually; add in the lemon juice; add in the flour and fold in; add in the egg whites, folding them in gently. Bake in a moderate oven
- (350 ) in a pan with a tube in it for about an hour. C. cake pans may also be used with less baking time.
