Recipe type: Dessert

Prep time: 20 mins

Cook time: 50 mins

Total time: 1 hour 10 mins

Serves: 16

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10)
¾ cup plus ½ cup sugar, divided
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup white rice flour
¼ cup tapioca flour
¼ cup potato starch
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
Assorted fresh fruit, optional

Instructions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift ¾ cup sugar, cornstarch, flours and potato starch together twice; set aside.
Add cream of tartar, salt and vanilla to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about ½ cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Top with fresh fruit if desired.
