You will need: white flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp of baking powder, 6 eggs, 1 tsp lemon juice, vanilla essence, ½ tsp grated lemon rind

Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Separate the whites and yolks of the eggs and beat the yolks until thick. Now add the sugar gradually and add the lemon juice and the rinds. Cut and fold in the sifted flour and cut and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in an ungreased pan in a very moderate oven.
Bake until the cake is puffed and springs back when gently pressed. Now you can sprinkle some caster sugar on top of the sponge cake or have your favorite toppings and icings.

Birthday Cake Themes

Ever wondered what makes birthday cakes so special and extraordinary? It is the perfect theme that makes a birthday cake look gorgeous and unforgettable. Themes for birthday cakes can vary according to the age of the birthday girl or boy. For example, birthday cake themes for young girls can be Cinderella Castle Cake, Princess Castle Cake, Ice Cream Castle Cake, Madeline's Hat Cake, Pink Pony Cake, or a Sunflower Cake.

Young boys who love sports can have their birthday cake themes on sports, like Bowling Ball Cake, Bowling Lane Cake, Skateboard Cake, Football Cake, Pirate and Pirate Ship Cake, Lego Cake or a Treasure Chest Cake. Girls and boys and adults loving animals can have Horse Cake, Sheep Cake, Pony Cake, or a Cow Cake as their birthday cake theme.

Adults' birthday cake themes can range from fun cake ideas like Campfire Cakes, Hot Dogs & Fries Cake, Catch the Rainbow Cake, Pool Party Cake, to beach ideas like Hawaiian Beach Cake, Fish Cake, Mermaid Cake, Pail of Sand Cake and Under the Sea Cake.

Select the appropriate birthday cake theme according to the age and preference of the person who's having a birthday. An adult will not like a cartoon character like Spiderman, Snowhite and Batman as the theme for his birthday cake. The theme for an adult birthday cake should synchronize with the celebrant's age, personality, and interests. The same goes with teens and kids. They will not like if you choose a serious theme for their birthday cake. A light and funny theme would be perfect for a kid's or teen's birthday cake.
