Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch ungreased tube pan.
- Sift the cake flour 4-5 times into a bowl, then combine with 3/4 cup sugar and rainbow sprinkles.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt until frothy. Gradually add remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the meringue until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the tube pan, smoothing the top gently.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until risen and a toothpick comes out clean. The top should be golden.
- Once baked, cool the cake upside down on a cooling rack for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the frosting by whipping egg whites and sugar over simmering water until stiff peaks form, then add vanilla.
- Spread the meringue frosting over the cooled cake and optionally toast with a torch.
