Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Clean and fully dry a 10-inch tube pan.
Step 2
Sift together flour, and 3/4 cup sugar, set aside.
Step 3
Whip egg whites, along with vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt, in a large bowl to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, 1/3 at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the cake springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes.
Step 5
Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.
