egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each
addition, then add the milk, lemon rind, and vanilla.
Stir in the flour and blend until smooth. In another
large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form

appears firm. Let the cake cool in the oven for 15
minutes, then allow to cool to room temperature.
