Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large Egg Whites
- 1 cup Superfine Sugar
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Few drops of Pink Food Coloring or Strawberry/Raspberry Puree
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a tube pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the cream of tartar and salt, then beat until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add the superfine sugar, a little at a time, until glossy, stiff peaks form.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and pink food coloring or puree.
- Sift the flour over the mixture in batches, folding gently to maintain airiness.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

- Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to release the cake.
Notes
Use fresh eggs for the best texture. Don’t overdo the extra ingredients. Sift the flour for aeration, and fold gently to maintain fluffiness.
