Bolo de água / Water Cake
Even though it’s been a very long day, I feel like baking. This cake is so easy and delicious as well as a childhood favorite. I can picture my mom baking this cake for us to enjoy on the weekends. We always needed to be prepared for company! Hope this brings back wonderful memories for you too.

3 cups of all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
4 large eggs at room temperature and separated
1 cup of warm water
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of baking powder
Zest of 1 lemon
I use a 10" Angel Food Cake pan from Nordic. It's heavy weight, so it will last you, and it has a non-stick finish.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F
1. Grease and flour the pan and leave aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour with salt and baking powder and leave aside. Separate the eggs yolks from the egg whites into two medium bowls.
3. Using a hand mixer at high speed, beat the egg whites until they form high peaks and then leave aside. In the other medium bowl beat together the egg yolks with sugar and water, and then add the flour mixture a little at a time into the bowl and well beat together.
4. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the lemon zest, and then fold in the egg whites. Pour mixture into the greased and floured tube pan, and bake for 60 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Enjoy!
