Prep Time: 15 minutesminutes
Cook Time: 45 minutesminutes
Ingredients
2cupssugar
1cupcake flour
¼teaspoonsea salt
12egg whites
1 ½teaspoonscream of tartar
1 ½teaspoonsvanilla
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Pulse the sugar 30-35 times at high speed in a food processor.
Sift the sugar and then divide it in half into two separate bowls.
Sift the flour and salt into one of the bowls with the sugar and whisk to combine. Set aside.
In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment whisk the egg whites on low speed until they become frothy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cream of tartar and vanilla to the mixer on whisk on medium speed for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks are formed.
Next, turn the speed to high, and then using the bowl with only sugar in it, add 1 tablespoon of that sugar at a time to the mixer until it is completely mixed in and stiff peaks are formed, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the remaining bowl of flour-sugar-salt mixture 1/3 cup at a time and fold it in completely using a rubber spatula.
Transfer the batter to a 4” x 9.5” Bundt pan and smooth it out on the top.
Using a butter knife run it through the batter several times in a figure 8 motion to ensure all of the air bubbles are out of it.
Bake the cake in the pan on the lower rack at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until browned on top and springs back up immediately after pressing on it.
Invert the pan immediately onto a rack and cool for at least 1 hour before adding on powdered sugar and slicing and serving.
