Based on Betty Crocker’s Angel Food Cake

US measures

1 cup cake flour
1½ cups egg white (about 12 large)
1½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla

2. Mix and sift powdered sugar and flour; set aside. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Beat in granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, on high speed, adding vanilla with the last addition of sugar. Continue beating until stiff and glossy meringue forms.
3. Sprinkle sugar-flour mixture, ¼ cup at a time, over meringue, folding in just until sugar-flour mixture disappears. Fold in the zest. Push batter into ungreased angel food cake (tube) pan. Cut gently through batter with spatula.
4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cracks feel dry and tops springs back when touched lightly. Immediately turn pan upside down onto heatproof funnel or bottle. Let hang about two hours or until cake is completely cool. Loosen side of cake with knife or long, metal spatula; remove from pan.
