In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking powder.
In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until lemon colored and thick. Add sugar slowly until incorporated. Pour half the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture and beat well, then repeat with the rest of the flour mixture beating well. Gently stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
In a large bowl, combine room temperature egg whites and salt. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Fold 1/4 egg white mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated. Continue adding the egg white mixture to the flour mixture in fourths until all is incorporated.
Grease and flour 4 9-inch round cake-pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for at least 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack. When the layers are cool, cut the layers horizontally to make 8 layers.
On a cake stand, add a cake layer and spread lemon filling over the top and continue to add the cake layers. Chill cake in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
