2
teaspoons baking powder
1/4
teaspoon baking soda
1/4

1/2 tablespoons acceptable

Instructions:
Preheat
oven to 350° F.
Lightly
spray a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.
In
a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. Set aside.
In
another medium bowl, combine applesauce, lemon peel, lemon juice, vegetable
oil, corn syrup, and lemon extract. Pour the applesauce mixture into the
flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
In
a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric hand or stand mixer
until they form stiff peaks.
Using
a rubber scraper, fold the flour/applesauce mixture into the beaten egg
whites. Pour mixture into the prepared cake pan and smooth top with a spatula.
Bake
for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, loosen sides of cake with a thin metal spatula,
and invert cake onto a cooling rack. Cake can be served warm, at room temperature,
or chilled.
*Even
a single drop of egg yolk will prevent egg whites from rising, so separate
eggs very carefully.
