Ingredients
 
 

  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 100 grams flour
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 zest of lemon
  • ¾ tsp cream of tartar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) and place the oven rack in the center of the oven.
  • Have ready an ungreased bundt pan.
  • Separate the cold eggs, placing the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another bowl.
  • Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and bring the eggs to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sift or whisk the sifted flour with the baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks and 135 grams of the sugar in the mixing bowl, beat on high speed until they are thick, fluffy, and light-colored. 
  • Add the vanilla extract, water, and lemon zest. Set aside while you beat the egg whites.
  • In a clean bowl, with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy, add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the 65 grams of sugar and continue beating until the egg whites are shiny and form stiff peaks.
  • Next, sift the flour mixture over the beaten egg yolks and gently but quickly fold (with a wire whisk or rubber spatula) the flour into the egg yolk batter.
  • Gently fold a little of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it, and then add the rest of the whites.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 28 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately invert the pan  (turn upside down) and suspend it by placing the inner tube on the top of a flat-topped glass or bowl. 
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before unmolding (about one hour). Run a flat metal spatula or sharp knife around the inside of the pan and then remove the center core of the pan. 
  • Run the spatula along with the bottom and center core of the pan. Invert the cake onto a greased wire rack.
  • The cake can be served plain with a dusting of powdered sugar or with fresh fruit and softly whipped cream. This cake can be covered and stored for a few days, or it can be frozen.
