"1-2/3 cups (12 to 13) cold egg whites
3-1/2 ounces (1 cup) sifted cake flour
5 ounces (1-1/3 cups) confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
"

"1. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer. Set aside until the whites are slightly below room temperature, 60 degrees F, about 1 hour.

2. Sift the cake flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper; set aside.

3. Whip the whites on medium-low speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar; turn the speed to medium. Continue whipping until soft peaks form. In a slow, continuous stream, add the granulated sugar, whipping until the whites thicken and form soft, droopy peaks. In the final moments of whipping, add the vanilla and lemon zest. The mixture should be fluffy but fluid enough to pour.

4. Sprinkle one-quarter of the flour mixture over the whites and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the whites. Continue folding in the flour mixture, one-quarter at a time, until it has all been added.

5. Gently pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake in the bottom third of the oven until the top is light golden and the cake feels spongy and springs back when touched, 45 to 50 minutes. Invert the pan onto the neck of a bottle or a funnel and let cool completely before removing from the pan.

6. To remove the cake from the pan, tilt the pan on its side and gently tap the bottom against the counter to loosen the cake. Rotate the pan, tapping a few more times as you turn it, until the cake comes free from the sides of the pan. Lift the cake from the pan. It should come out cleanly, leaving the crust on the sides of the pan. To serve, use a serrated knife and cut with a gentle sawing motion. Top with sugared berries, if you like

"12 large eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cups superfine sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
"

"1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Using an egg separator, separate one of the eggs into a small bowl or measuring cup. Then transfer egg white to a large bowl. Repeat with remaining eggs (this keeps any yolk from accidentally getting into all your whites). Discard yolks. Let egg whites warm to room temperature. Add cream of tartar and salt to egg whites.

3. Beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in superfine sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until stiff but glossy peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla extract.

4. Fold flour into egg whites in two additions, until incorporated. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.Variation for a chocolate and vanilla marbled angel food cake: Follow directions above through step 3. Then remove half of the batter to a medium-size bowl. Reduce flour to 3/4 cup. Fold 1/2 cup of the flour into the batter in one of the bowls. Sift 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and the remaining 1/4 cup flour over the second half of the batter in the other bowl and fold in both. Spoon batters alternately into a 10-inch tube pan. Swirl together with a knife for a marbled effect. Bake and cool as directed in step 5.

5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes, until top has risen very high and is lightly browned and cracked. Remove from oven and immediately invert onto baking sheet or neck of bottle. Cool completely.
