at a time in the same manner. Do not overmix.
Fold in vanilla, almond extract, and lemon juice. Place mixture into
nonstick angel food pan and bake on bottom rack at 350 degrees for 45 - 50
minutes or until tooth pick inserted into it comes out clean and the top
feels dry. Invert pan and cool. Frosting recipe:
