Directions

• For the Cake:
• Preheat oven to 375F. Position the oven rack ⅓ from the bottom of the oven.
• Line a 13 x 9-inch pan with aluminum foil – allowing 2” overlap over the sides of the pan. Do NOT grease the pan or the foil.
• Sift together sugar, flour & salt. Set aside.
• With an electric mixer, beat egg white & cream of tartar on high until stiff peaks form.
• Slowly, fold in the sugar/flour mixture, ⅓ cup at a time. Do not overmix – fold only until just blended after each addition.
• Carefully, fold in vanilla and lemon juice.
• Gently spoon batter into prepared pan. Note – batter will reach to the top or almost to the top of the pan.
• Place the pan in the preheated 375F oven.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and turn over and onto a very lightly floured (clean) cloth or onto a wire cooling rack that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
• Let the cake cool with the pan in place until completely cooled – approximately 1 hour.
• Once cake has cooled, remove the pan and peel off the foil.
• Spread Lemon-Cream Cheese Frosting over the entire cake or cut the cake into pieces then frost.
• Garnish with Holly Cupcake Decorations.
