1. Prepare Lemon Sauce; set aside.

4. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour in molasses, beating egg white mixture until sugar dissolves. Fold in flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Add vanilla.
