Ingredients
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 8 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Sift the flour and 1/3 cup sugar onto a large plate and set aside.
- Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl and whisk until frothy.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar and salt and add to the whipping egg whites in a slow, steady stream.
- Add the vanilla extract, and continue whisking until the mixture forms stiff peaks.
- Sift the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold in very gently with a large metal spoon until well blended.
- Spoon the mixture into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, gently smoothing the top. Bake until golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched in the center, about 35 minutes.
- Invert the cake, still in the pan, onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely, upside down. When it is cool, slide a long knife around the side of the pan to loosen the cake, then invert it onto a serving plate. (The cake can be kept, wrapped in plastic or stored in an airtight container, for 1 to 2 days.)
