INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 3 cups cake flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🥚 6 large eggs, separated
    • 2 cups white sugar, divided
    • 🧈 1 cup butter, softened
    • 🍋 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 🥛 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch tube pan.

2

Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set mixture aside.

3

In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Set aside.

4

Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in another large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

5

Blend in egg yolks, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add flour mixture alternately with yogurt, mixing until combined. Gently fold in beaten egg whites.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
