Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Beat cold water and egg yolks together until mixture makes 1 quart--at least 10 minutes. Slowly add sugar and vanilla to egg yolk mixture, beating for at least 7 minutes more.

  3. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together. Fold into the egg yolk mixture.

  4. Beat egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold one third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten, fold in remaining egg whites. Pour batter into an ungreased tube pan.

  5. Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip, about 50 minutes. Turn upside down to cool in pan for 1 hour. Loosen sides and coax from pan.

Recipe Yield

1 tube pan

Recipe Note

This is a lovely sponge cake that is reminiscent of the Deep South. May be cut into layers and filled and iced with lemon filling, or with whipped cream.
