Source: Amish Cooking cookbook 2 c. (14 to 16) egg whites
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. salt
2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 (one and one-half) c. sifted cake flour Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar, vanilla and salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually sift 1 c. of the sugar into the beaten whites and beat to incorporate. Sift remaining sugar with all the flour and gently fold it into the whites. Gently turn the batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45 to 50 mins. (When done, the cake should spring back at the touch of a finger.) Let cake cool before serving.
