Simple Sponge Cake Recipe

(Michigan City)

Here is one of my favorite because it's so simple.

6 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 cup flour

Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs, beat the yolks until thick and lemon colored, add the sugar gradually, then add the lemon juice and rind.

Cut and fold in the sifted flour and cut and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

Bake in an ungreased pan in a very moderate oven.
Bake until the cake is puffed, has lost its shine, and springs back when gently pressed.

Oven Temp ~ 325°
Baking Time ~ 15 Min.
Pan Type ~ 10x15x1-inch jelly roll pan
