Ingredients:
- 2 drops yellow food coloring, or more (optional)
- 12 lemon jell slices and mint springs, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat in cold water, oil, vanilla, lemon zest and egg yolks until smooth.
- Wash and dry beaters. In large bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour flour mixture over beaten egg whites, folding with rubber spatula just until blended. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan.
- Bake about 1 hour 15 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly. Immediately turn pan upside down onto heatproof funnel or bottle. Let hang until completely cool, about 2 hours. Loosen side of cake with knife or long, metal spatula; remove from pan.
- In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and lemon zest until smooth. Stir in lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth and the consistency of thick syrup. Add yellow food coloring if desired. Spread glaze over top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side.
- Garnish with jell slices and mint, if desired. Serve at room temperature.
- Notes:
- If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add baking powder and salt.
- Be sure not to get any egg yolks into the egg whites while separating the eggs, because even a speck of yolk will prevent the whites from beating properly.
- Made by Doris previously and on September 7, 2009. Lovely and light. We made candied lemon slices for decoration. They were pretty, but not very good to eat!
