Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cake flour sifted
  • 1.5 cups Granulated sugar divided
  • 12 Egg whites room temperature
  • 1.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour and ¾ cup of the sugar. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the remaining ¾ cup of sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
  6. Sift a small amount of the flour mixture over the egg white mixture and fold in gently. Repeat until all the flour mixture is incorporated.
  7. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the cake springs back when touched lightly.
  9. Invert the pan onto a bottle or funnel and let it hang until completely cool. Run a knife around the edges to release the cake from the pan.
