Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • cake:
  • 1 cup egg whites (about 7)
  • 2-1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 6 tbsp water
  • frosting:
  • 2 tbsp plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 3 tbsp cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk

Directions:

  1. In a small heavy skillet, heat sugar until golden brown. Gradually add water; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, oil, water, vanilla and 6 tablespoons reserved syrup. Add to dry ingredients; beat until well blended. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form; fold into batter.
  3. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  4. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
  5. For frosting, in a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour and salt until smooth; gradually add remaining syrup mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Transfer to a small bowl; beat in the confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
  6. In a large bowl, beat remaining butter until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar mixture. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Yield: 12 servings.
