GRANDMA'S DEPRESSION CAKE

This is an eggless, milkless, butterless cake. " A delicious spiced cake that's easy on the budget". I found this recipe in the "Guideposts" magazine (August 2009 issue). The recipe was part of a wonderful article with the same title written by Rosemary Marbach.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease and flour a two piece tube pan. Do not over flour the pan.
  • Separate the eggs into two separate bowls. Add the sugar, salt & oil to the egg yolks and beat using a paddle attachment. Beat on low until the mixture is pale yellow, thick and forms ribbons when dropped from the beater.
  • Stir in the lemon zest and juice. Add the sifted flour and baking powder and mix on low just until blended.
  • Using the mixer whisk, beat the egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold half of egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until incorporated. Fold in the remaining egg whites until fully mixed.
  • Pour batter into a prepared tube pan and bake in thd centre of the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Once cooked, gently turn the cake upside down to cool. If the pan does not have extended prongs, place the tube pan on a bottle to cool completely.
