Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup cold water
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat cold water and egg yolks together until mixture makes 1 quart--at least 10 minutes. Slowly add sugar and vanilla to egg yolk mixture, beating for at least 7 minutes more.
  • Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together. Fold into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Beat egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form. Fold one third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten; fold in remaining egg whites. Pour batter into an ungreased tube pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip, about 50 minutes. Turn upside down to cool in pan for 1 hour. Loosen sides and coax from pan.
