For Filling:
4 lemons
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
Pinch of salt
Cream sugar and butter; add beaten egg yolks. Then alternately add flour, to which 2 teaspoons baking powder has been added and the milk. Fold in beaten egg whites, to which 1 teaspoon baking powder has been added. Add extract. Bake in 9 inch pans allowing 6 tablespoons of the cake batter for each layer. Bake at 350 degrees F. for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool slightly before adding filling.
For Filling: Measure sugar and add grated rind and juice of lemons (fresh) and stir. Add beaten eggs, butter and salt. Cook until thick. Cool filling and spread between warm cake layers and on top and sides of cake. Frosting may be added but is not necessary, as this cake is rich and wonderful without it.
