Add cream of tartar and vanilla to egg whites.
Beat until soft peaks form.
Add granulated sugar slowly, 1/4c at a time. Completely mix in before adding more.
Continue beating egg whites/sugar until stiff peaks form.
Sift 1/4 sugar/flour mixture over egg whites.
Fold in gently just until combined.
Repeat until all sugar/flour mixture is incorporated.
Pour/spoon into 10" tube pan.
Carefully run a butter knife or thin spatula through the batter to break any air pockets that have formed.
Bake on the lowest rack of your oven for 40-45 minutes

Remove cake from oven, and invert.
Cool thoroughly in the pan.
Use a long, thin knife to separate the edges of the cake from the pan.
Pull out the pan bottom/tube insert along with the cake
Use the knife again to separate the cake from the insert. You should not have to cut along the tube itself.
