Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks
form and meringue looks glossy. 5. Stir 1/3 of the meringue mixture

the oven & bake until a tester comes out clean and the center of the
cake springs back to the touch, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack
and cool for 30-40 minutes. 6. In a small bowl, make a glaze by
whisking together the lemon juice & confectioners sugar. Set aside

and spoon glaze over cake. If desired, garnish each serving with
sliced apricots.
