Yield 1 10-inch tube pan

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
2 cups white sugar, divided
1 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 10-inch tube pan.
