1 1/2 cups (375 mL)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and salt at high speed until moist peaks form (but are not dry). Gradually beat 3/4 cup (175 mL) of sugar until blended. Set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks at a moderately high speed until thick and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup (175 mL) of sugar. Pour egg yolk mixture over egg whites, beat at moderately high speed to blend. Sift together flour and baking powder. With mixer set at low speed, gradually add sifted dry ingredients to egg mixture. When blended, beat in SunRype Apple Juice, vanilla and lemon juice just until blended. Pour into ungreased tube pan. Bake in 350°F (150°C) oven. Invert pan; leave until cold; then remove cake.
