Preheat Oven: Set to 311℉(155℃).

Whip Egg Whites: In another chilled bowl, beat egg whites with lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Fold: Gently fold whipped egg whites into the batter in stages to maintain airiness.

Creating the Filling:
Whip Cream: Beat heavy cream, sugar, and salt until thick. Refrigerate until needed.
Assembling the Cake Sandwich:
