Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a tube pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
-
Add in the vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla extract to the well. Mix together until smooth and well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, using a clean and dry whisk, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the mixture - the airiness of the whipped whites is what gives the cake its light texture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely while inverted. This helps prevent the cake from collapsing.
-
Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Gently remove the cake from the pan and place it on a serving plate.
