preparation
1. Put the 9-inch cake pan on the stove over medium heat. Add 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter and let it melt. Add brown sugar and stir to mix well.
2. Remove from heat and line the bottom of the pan with lemon slices.
3. Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. In your mixer bowl beat 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter with sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add vanilla and egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating each one and beating well.
6. In a separate bowl beat egg whites with lemon juice until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter gently.
7. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, of until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, and then turn upside down on a platter.
