  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4  c             Cake flour -- sifted
   1      c             Brown sugar -- firmly packed
   1 1/2  c             Egg whites -- from 12 to
                        - 14 eggs
   1 1/2  ts            Cream of tartar
   1      ts            Salt
   1      c             Brown sugar -- firmly packed
   2      ts            Vanilla

Preheat oven to 350°F. Have an ungreased 10" tube pan at hand.

Combine cake flour and 1 cup brown sugar.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until
foamy. Gradually add second cup of brown sugar. Continue to beat
until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla; blend well.

Divide flour-brown sugar mixture into 4 portions.

Use a large rubber spatula to fold each portion in separately; gently
lift meringue up and roll it over onto itself. Fold just until no
traces of dry ingredients can be seen.

Gently push batter into pan. With a long, sharp knife, make 5 or 6
vertical cuts through batter to get rid of large air pockets.

Bake 45 minutes, or until top of cake springs back after it is
lightly touched with a finger.

As soon as cake is removed from the oven, immediately invert pan. If
pan does not have legs, place the center tube over the neck of a
large, heavy bottle. Do not remove from pan until cake is completely
cool... takes at least 1 hour.

Dust with sifted powdered sugar, or frost with a favorite icing.
