How to make sponge cake:

Sift together flour, only 1 cup of the sugar and baking powder. Separate the eggs. Combine egg whites, salt and cream of tartar; beat until soft mounds form, then add 1/2 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time. Beat until very stiff. Beat egg yolks; combine with water, vanilla and lemon extract. Add dry ingredients to egg yolk mixture. Fold in egg white mixture. Pour into ungreased tube pan. Bake at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes.
