4 eggs, separated
1/4 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar
Creamy Lemon Filling
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon water

Beat egg yolks until light and lemon colored; gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, beating constantly. Stir in lemon extract and vegetable oil; set aside. Beat egg whites until foamy; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold yolk mixture into whites.
