1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup + 2 tablespoons sifted cake flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups raspberries

Preheat oven to 375oF. Onto sheet of waxpaper sift together 3/4 cup of the sugar, the cake flour and salt; set aside. In large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat egg whites 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles appear and surface is frothy. Sprinkle cream of tartar over whites; with mixer at medium speed, add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar in a slow, steady stream, beating until all the sugar has been added. Stop beating; scrape around sides and bottom of bowl with a spatula. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest and vanilla extract; continue beating until whites are stiff but not dry. Sift one-third of the flour mixture over top of beaten egg whites; with rubber spatula, quickly fold into whites, scraping sides and bottom of bowl.
