Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease and parchment paper line a 10 inch tube pan, set aside.
- Beat the eggs with the salt until light.
- Gradually beat in the sugar at medium speed and beat for at least 20 minutes, add rind if using.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking powder and stir with a fork or whisk.
- At low speed, add the flour mixture to the eggs one heaping tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition, and scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean (cake will spring back to a light touch).
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and peel off parchment paper.
- Let cool completely on rack.
- Dust with icing sugar before serving if desired.
