Description
This is the traditional cake of Israel-and it is exceedingly popular. It has no Hebrew name but is called by the European designation, tort. This cake appears in many shades and shapes and is covered in a variety of ways. A typical method involves cutting the cake horizontally in two and covering it with fresh strawberries (for which Israel is famous), jelly and whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp grated lemon rind
- 6 egg whites

- 1 tsp baking powder
Procedures
- Beat egg yolks; gradually add sugar, beating until thick and light in color.

- Sift flour mixed with baking powder over egg whites and fold in carefully.
