Ingredients:

  • 1 lb unsalted butter (4 sticks)
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 cups flour , reserve little to dust raisins, pecans , before adding
  • 1 heaping tsp baking powder
  • i added some personal notes in the directions. the directions may look lengthy, but they not complicated. enjoy

Directions:

  1. With mixer, in large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar *well*
  2. In bowl, *whisk* egg yolks thoroughly before adding
  3. Add egg yolks to creamed mixture, beating to combine
  4. Add lemon extract, beat a few seconds
  5. In another bowl whisk flour and baking powder
  6. (Mother always put the flour, baking powder on wax paper, then holding the wax paper like a funnel, she slowly poured it into the creamed mixture, while beating slowly)
  7. Add flour mixture slowly to creamed mixture, beating on low, combining well as you go
  8. Add nuts, raisins, *fold* in thoroughly, batter will be stiff
  9. In large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, but still moist
  10. Fold beaten egg whites into mixture
  11. Spoon into well greased, lightly floured tube pan (Angel Food, not Bundt)
  12. Bake at 275 degrees for 1 hour THEN
  13. Bake at 300 for 1 more hour
  14. Remove from oven, set on wire rack a few minutes
  15. Remove from pan
  16. After cooling thoroughly, I usually wrap in heavy duty aluminun foil, but have also placed the cake in an air-tight container until ready to serve
  17. When cutting, use a serrated knife
  18. NOTE: I remember seeing this same recipe years ago, and it stated to cook the cake at 250 for 2-1/2-3 hours. I think it would be your choice. I have always baked it as directed in the above recipe. Just remember it needs that low temperature, and slow baking!
  19. It is truly delicious.
