List of Ingredients



• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1½ cups sugar, divided
  
• 1½ cups egg whites (about 12 to 15 egg whites)
  
• 1½ tsp cream of tartar
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• 1½ tsp vanilla extract (or ½ tsp almond extract)
  






Instructions



1. Mix flour and ½ cup sugar in small bowl. Set aside.Place egg whites in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip to mixer. Gradually turn to Speed 6 and whip until egg whites are frothy, 30 to 60 seconds.
   
   
2. Add cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla. Turn to Speed 8 and whip until whites are almost stiff but not dry, 2 to 2½ minutes. Turn to Speed 2. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar and mix about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl. Remove bowl from mixer. Spoon flour-sugar mixture, one-quarter at a time, over egg whites. Fold in gently with spatula, just until blended.
   
   
3. Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan. With knife, gently cut through batter to break up large air bubbles. Bake at 375° F until crust is golden brown and cracks are very dry, about 35 minutes. Immediately invert cake pan onto funnel or soft drink bottle. Cool completely. Remove from pan.
