Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Pulse granulated sugar in a food processor until fine. Reserve half a cup. Sift together remaining sugar, cake flour, and salt.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine egg whites, warm water, and cream of tartar. Beat on medium until frothy, then gradually add reserved sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
  4. Fold the sifted flour mixture into the whipped egg whites in four increments, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners with batter to the top, smoothing the surface.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.
