Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Sift the cake flour and salt over the whipped egg whites. Gently fold in the dry ingredients using a spatula. Add the vanilla extract and fold until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the cupcakes spring back when touched.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Serve plain, or with your favorite toppings.
