1 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar

1 cup sugar
1 cup sugar

Sift the powdered sugar and measure out 1 ½ cups. Sift the cake flour and then measure out 1 cup.
Sift together the powdered sugar, cake flour and salt 3 times.
Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, beat on medium speed until it forms soft peaks. Add the sugar gradually and beat until it is just thickened and forms droopy peaks. Add the vanilla and beat it in.
Sprinkle ¼ cup of the sifted ingredients over egg whites and fold in gently. Add the rest 1/3 at a time.
