Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
⅔ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¾ cup milk
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

½ cup finely chopped blanched almonds
2 teaspoons dark rum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease one 10 inch tube pan and sprinkle the almonds evenly over the bottom.
  • Separate the eggs. In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Beat in the egg yolks, then the vanilla, almond extract, lemon juice, lemon rind, and milk.
  • In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat into the creamed mixture. Stir in about 1/3 of the egg whites to lighten the batter and then fold in the rest gently but thoroughly. Turn batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 1-1/2 hours or until cake tests done when a toothpick inserted neat the center comes out clean. As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle the top evenly with the rum. Transfer to a rack to cool. Makes about 14 servings.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

The cake was dense and dry. I don't think I'll be making this recipe again.
