Directions
START WITH
1
Preheat oven to 325°F.
2
In a large bowl, sift flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt together twice.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, water, canola oil, 4 teaspoons of grated lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Add the egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture; beat until well blended.
5
In a clean and dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
6
Gently fold a quarter of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
7
Carefully spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Run a knife through the batter to remove air pockets.
8
Bake the cake on the lowest oven rack for 50-55 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
9
Immediately invert the pan and let it cool completely, about 1 hour.
10
Run a knife around the sides and center tube of the pan to release the cake. Transfer the cake to a serving plate.
FROSTING
11
In a bowl, combine softened butter, confectioners' sugar, 4 ½ teaspoons of grated lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Beat the mixture until smooth.
12
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
