Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F; spray a loaf pans with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, sift together ¾ cup of sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add egg substitute, oil, egg yolk, lemon zest, and vanilla to the bowl. Use a whisk to mix until smooth.
  • In a different bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the egg whites until they are thick.
  • While still mixing, slowly add ¼ cup of sugar. Continue to beat until you see stiff, shiny peaks form.
  • Take a rubber spatula and gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the flour mixture. Mix well.
  • Fold in the rest of the egg whites.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan onto the rack.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix the lemon juice and the remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
