Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup cake flour
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 12 egg whites
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Pulse the sugar 30-35 times at high speed in a food processor.
- Sift the sugar and then divide it in half into two separate bowls.
- Sift the flour and salt into one of the bowls with the sugar and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment whisk the egg whites on low speed until they become frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cream of tartar and vanilla to the mixer on whisk on medium speed for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks are formed.
- Next, turn the speed to high, and then using the bowl with only sugar in it, add 1 tablespoon of that sugar at a time to the mixer until it is completely mixed in and stiff peaks are formed, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the remaining bowl of flour-sugar-salt mixture 1/3 cup at a time and fold it in completely using a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the batter to a 4” x 9.5” Bundt pan and smooth it out on the top.
- Using a butter knife run it through the batter several times in a figure 8 motion to ensure all of the air bubbles are out of it.
- Bake the cake in the pan on the lower rack at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until browned on top and springs back up immediately after pressing on it.
- Invert the pan immediately onto a rack and cool for at least 1 hour before adding on powdered sugar and slicing and serving.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can serve this cake as soon as it is done cooling. If you want to make it ahead, it can be made up to 2 days before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and store at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also cover it and refrigerate it for up to 6 days. This cake will not freeze that well and is not advised.

- You can substitute regular sugar for castor sugar if you do not want to pulse it in a food processor.
- If you do not have a stand mixer then you can absolutely use an electric hand mixer.Be sure to completely fold in the flour-sugar-salt before adding more.
