Directions:

CRUST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with
non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together cake
flour and powdered sugar. Using a pastry blender cut cream cheese into the
flour mixture until crumbly. Gradually add oil, stirring with a fork. Toss
until evenly moistened. (The mixture will be crumbly.) Press into the
bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden
colored.

FILLING: In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites, sugar and lemon zest together
with an electric mixer until smooth. In a small bowl, stir together
all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the egg-white mixture and
beat until blended. Mix in lemon juice. Pour over the hot crust and bake
for about 20 minutes longer, or until the top is light golden brown and
set. Let cool in the pan on a rack. Spray a sharp knife with non-stick
cooking spray and cut into squares. Dust with sifted powdered sugar.

Yield: About 16 squares.
