Lemon-Lime Sunshine Cake
Lemon-Lime Sunshine Cake

1 1/4 cups sugar, sifted five times
4 large egg yolks
8 large egg whites
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp lemon extract

Zest of 1/2 fresh lime
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Beat egg yolks at highest speed for 4 minutes until yolks are light yellow. Wash beaters. Whip egg whites
until frothy; add salt and continue beating until whites volume-ize, holding their shape, but are still moist.
Fold sugar, in three passes, into the egg whites, using a rubber spatula to incorporate in an over/under motion.
Fold in extract, citrus rind and whipped egg yolks. Fold in flour, again using a rubber spatula to incorporate in
an over/under motion. Transfer batter to an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, leveling the surface of the batter with spatula.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes until lightly browned (use the toothpick-in- the-center test to make sure cake is done)
Invert cake in tube pan to cool. While cake cools,
