Ingredients
- 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °. Beat egg whites and salt at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Beat in vanilla and lemon juice. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Add sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, beating until firm peaks form. Fold in flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Fold in coconut and lemon zest.
