   1      cup           Flour, cake -- Softasilk
     3/4  cup           Sugar -- plus 2 tablespoons
  12                    Egg whites -- 1 1/2 cups
   1 1/2  teaspoons     Cream of tartar
     1/4  teaspoon      Salt
     3/4  cup           Sugar
   6                    Egg yolks
   1 1/2  teaspoons     Vanilla
     1/2  teaspoon      Almond extract
                        LEMON GLAZE
   1      cup           confectioner's sugar
     1/2  teaspoon      grated lemon rind
   1      teaspoon      lemon juice
   2      tablespoons   milk
   1      drop          yellow food coloring

Heat oven to 375F.  Stir together flour and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside.
 In large mixer bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until foamy. 
On high speed, beat in remaining 3/4 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time,
 until meringue holds stiff peaks.

 In small mixer bowl, beat egg yolks until very thick and lemon colored.
 Gently fold flavorings into meringue. 
Sprinkle flour-sugar mixture, 1/4 at a time, over meringue,
 folding in gently just until flour-sugar mixture disappears.

 Pour half the batter into another bowl; gently fold in egg yolks. 
Spoon yellow and white batters alternately into ungreased tube pan, 10x4 inches. 
Gently cut through batters to swirl.
 Bake on bottom shelf of oven about 40 minutes or until top springs back when touched,
 Invert pan on funnel; let hang until cake is cool. Spread with glaze.

 Lemon Glaze: Blend 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel, 
1 teaspoon lemon juice, about 2 tablespoons milk and 1 drop yellow food color.
