- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch

- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9 inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.

- In a large bowl whisk egg yolks, vanilla and lemon juice. Add the cooled cream cheese mixture and whisk in in cornstarch and flour.
- Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat eggs whites and salt. Slowly stream the sugar in and continue whisking until soft peaks.
- Working in batches, fold the eggs whites into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold until ingredients are combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Place in a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Gently shake to remove any air bubbles.
