Servings: persons

2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
7 egg yolks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
grated zest of two lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Glaze
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center; add the water, egg yolks, oil, lemon zest and vanilla. Whisk the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture until the batter is blended and smooth. Set aside.
2
In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar at medium-low speed until foamy. Gradually increase the speed to high and beat the whites until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the beaten whites into the batter with a rubber spatula just until blended. Fold in the remaining whites just until combined. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
3
Bake 1 hour, or until the top springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle or a large funnel. Cool completely.
4
In a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth.
5
Remove the cake pan from the bottle. Run a long thin knife around both edges of the cake pan. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and remove the pan. Spread the icing on top of the cake, allowing some of the glaze to drip down the sides.
