Comment préparer Lemon Sponge Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not underbeat!
Set the meringue aside.
In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks until light and thick.
Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar to the egg yolks, beating until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup cold water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold the egg yolk batter into the meringue until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Stir in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or more, to taste!) and 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before removing from the pan.
