Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

In a large bowl, sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, egg yolks, water or milk, and vanilla flavor until smooth.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan, smoothing the top.

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and invert the pan to cool completely.

Once cool, run a knife around the edges to release the cake from the pan.
