Cake

 

Here are the Ingredients:

• 2 cups cake flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon lightly packed lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 large eggs, separated
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Preheat oven 350 degrees

 

Butter and flour 13x9x2 cake pan. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl and set aside. In a large bowl combine vegetable oil, water, lemon zest, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and 1 1/4 cups of the sugar. Whip on medium speed, until mixture is airy and light in color, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the dry ingredients and whip until smooth, about 1 minute more.

In a new bowl, whip egg whites to medium peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute more. Use a rubber spatula and fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the cake batter until evenly incorporated. Gently fold in remaining egg whites until combined.

Pour the batter in prepared cake pan. Bake for 35 minutes until surface of cakes springs back when pressed and a toothpick into the center comes out clean. Let cool 15 minutes. Remove from pan onto wire rack to cool completely. Spread whipped cream over cake as you would frosting and cover with fruit topping.
