Add other half and beat again, until flour is dissolved. And vanilla bean scrapings, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and stir until combined.

Add confectioners' sugar and cream of tartar and continue to beat until egg whites form soft peaks. Add egg whites to cake batter. Gently fold in whites until completely incorporated. Pour into a well-greased or lined 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated, 375°F, 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside.
