INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 8 egg whites
  • 1 dash cream of tartar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar.
  2. In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter or margarine with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Beat in lemon rind, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, along with about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites. Fold in the rest of the egg whites gently but thoroughly. Stir in the almonds. Turn the batter into a greased and floured tube pan.
