Instructions

  1. 1 Blend flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a medium bowl. Combine butter, shortening, and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla. Slowly add flour mixture to the sugar blend.
  2. 2 Divide dough in 1/2 and form into two 2-inch diameter logs. Shake the candy sprinkles evenly over a sheet of waxed paper. Roll the dough logs over the sprinkles, making sure the sprinkles adhere to the sides. Wrap the logs in waxed paper and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  4. 4 Remove 1 dough log from the refrigerator. Unwrap and place on a flat surface. Slice dough into 1/2-inch rounds and place on prepared cookie sheets. Rewrap and return any unused dough to the refrigerator; only slice it just as you are ready to place it on a cookie sheet.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine flour, buttermilk, vanilla, baking powder, egg yolks, and salt for batter in a bowl.
  2. 2 Whip egg whites for meringue in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl on medium-high speed until foamy. With the mixer running, gradually add sugar and cream of tartar. Continue to whip until soft to medium peaks form. When the beater is pulled from the whites, the peaks will curve back down a little instead of sticking straight up. The whipped whites will turn opaque and significantly increase in volume.
  3. 3 Mix 1/3 of the whipped whites into the pancake batter. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold in remaining whites, in several additions, being sure there are no large clumps of egg whites in the batter.
  4. 4 Grease the inside of round metal molds and place molds into a lightly greased pan over medium-low heat. Fill molds 2/3 high with batter. Cover the pan and cook until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles break the surface, about 10 minutes. Flip, cover, and cook until golden brown on the other side and tops spring back when touched, about 5 more minutes.

Remove bowl from heat.
  3. 3 Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, to the cream cheese mixture; whisk batter well after each addition. Add lemon juice and zest.
  4. 4 Use a fine mesh strainer to sift flour, cornstarch, and salt into the batter. Whisk until blended together. Pour batter through the strainer into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Set aside.
  5. 5 Whisk egg whites in a bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar. Whisking continuously, slowly adding white sugar, until soft peaks form. Fold 1/3 the egg whites into the batter using a whisk. Fold in remaining egg whites. Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles.
  6. 6 Place a clean towel in the bottom of a shallow baking sheet. Place filled cake pan on top of the towel. Pour enough water into the baking sheet to come 1 to 2 inches up the side of the cake pan.
  7. 7 Place baking sheet on the lowest rack of the preheated oven; bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Reduce temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C), leaving oven door closed. Continue baking until mostly set but center is still jiggly, about 55 minutes more. Turn oven off and leave door ajar with cake inside for 30 minutes.
  8. 8 Carefully remove cake from springform pan. Decorate with confectioners' sugar and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Cake may also be served at room temperature.
