Ingredients

12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Caramel-Orange Sauce
Candied Lemons (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Beat egg whites and salt at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Beat in vanilla and lemon juice. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Add sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, beating until firm peaks form. Fold in flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Fold in coconut and lemon zest.
Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Cut through batter with a knife to break air pockets. Bake 27 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan; cool completely.
Loosen cake from sides of pan, and invert onto a plate. Drizzle with Caramel-Orange Sauce; top with Candied Lemons, if desired.
