and the same beaters, without washing, until light. Add the remaining sugar
1 tablespoon at a time, beating until mixture is thick and creamy. Add
lemon juice and rind. By hand, add the flour mixture gradually, beating
until smooth. Fold egg mixture into meringue until no streaks of white
remain. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in a moderate oven 350~,
for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched with
fingertips. Cool in pan on wire rack 5 minutes. Invert pan on a clean cloth
that has been generously sprinkled with confectioners sugar. Carefully peel

minute. Remove from heat. Beat half the hot cornstarch mixture into beaten
egg yolks, then stir back into saucepan. Cook one minute longer. Stir in
butter, lemon rind and juice. Place piece of plastic wrap directly on
