Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
16-Ounce Box golden pound cake mix
4 egg whites
2/3 C water
FILLING
2 T Butter
1/3 C vegetable shortening
1 C powdered sugar
1/4 C granulated sugar
1/3 C evaporated milk
1 t vanilla extract
2 drop lemon extract


1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. Fold each piece of foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the
spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top open for pouring the batter in.
Make twelve of these molds and arrange on a cookie sheet. Grease the inside of
each with nonstick spray.

3. Disregard the directions on the cake mix box. Instead, beat the egg whites
until stiff. Combine with cake mix and water, and beat until thoroughly
blended (about 2 minutes).

4. Pour batter into molds, filling each about 3/4 inch. Bake in preheated oven
for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick comes
out clean from the center.

5. For the filling, cream the butter and shortening. Slowly add the sugars
while beating.

6. Add the evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon extracts.

7. Mix on medium speed until completely smooth and fluffy.

8. When the cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small
holes in the bottom of each one. Move the toothpick around the inside of each
cake to make room for filling.

9. Using the pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three
holes.
