Ingredients
  

  • 6 large egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 2 cups sifted cake flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch cake pan.
  • Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cup sugar gradually, beating until very stiff.
  • Cream butter and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric beater until light in color. Add egg yolks, and beat until thick and fluffy. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt over batter; fold in. Gently fold in egg whites. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
