Ingredients

6 eggs, separated

2T water

11/2tsp vanilla

11/4c sugar

1/4tsp salt

1/2tsp cream of tartar

11/4c sifted pastry flour

Directions

Line 2 9or10'' springform pans with parchment. (do not grease pans)

In a small bowl beat egg yolks, water and vanilla until frothy. Slowly add 1/2cup plus 2Tbsp of sugar. Beat until thick and light in color.

In a separate bowl beat the egg whites with the salt and cream of tartar to soft peaks. Slowly add 1/2c plus 2T of sugar. Beat until thick and glossy but not dry.

Scrape the egg yolk mixture into a large bowl. Fold the egg whites into yolk mixture alternately with the flour; beginning and ending with the egg whites. Scrape into prepared springforms.

Bake at 375F for 25-30 mins. or until light golden brown.

Cool slightly on racks. Using a sharp knife run it around inside edge of springform to separate cake from the pan. Cool completely before freezing.
