Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cake flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (around 10-12 large eggs) Use room temperature for better volume
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract for a different flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour and half of the granulated sugar, ensuring there are no lumps.
Mixing Egg Whites
  1. In a separate large bowl, begin beating the egg whites until they become frothy.
  2. Add the cream of tartar and salt, continuing to beat until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the remaining sugar while still beating, continuing until you achieve stiff peaks.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Gently fold in the flour mixture and vanilla extract, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into a tube pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
  2. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the top is a lovely golden color and springs back when lightly touched.
  3. Once done, invert the pan onto a cooling rack and allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them.

Notes

Serve with a drizzle of fresh fruit sauce or whipped cream, and consider using fresh berries for added color.
