Ingredients
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar divided
- 12 egg whites
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a 10-inch tube cake pan by making sure it is clean and fully dry. DO NOT GREASE OR OIL THE PAN. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, extract, cream of tartar and salt, until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining ¾ cup of sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients one third at a time by hand and using a spatula. Do not overmix or the egg whites will deflate. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the tube pan and gently tap to release air pockets.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched, is lightly browned and passes the toothpick test.
- Invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack and allow to cool (still in the pan ) for 3-4 hours.
- When cool, run a butter knife around the edge of the pan to loose, invert onto a serving dish and tap the top to lease the cake. Tapping it several times before inverting also helps.
