A cake composed exclusively of whipped egg whites, distinct from the Lord Baltimore cake, which exclusively utilizes egg yolks. The filling nestled between the layers is comparable to that of the Lord Baltimore, yet frequently simpler, forgoing the addition of nut meats and candied fruit.
This dessert is a type of cake that features a delicate lemon flavor. It is made by incorporating beaten egg yolks into the batter and baking it in multiple layers. The layers are then filled with a cream made from stiffly beaten egg whites, sugar, water, nut meats, candied cherries, and lemon and orange flavoring.
