cake flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber, while all-purpose flour is often less expensive.

Separate cold eggs over a clean bowl one at a time, transferring each egg to a larger bowl when sure there are no yolks in the whites.

Add hot water and lemon juice to the egg whites.

Whip egg whites for about 8 minutes, adding sugar a few spoons at a time.

Fold in a few spoons of flour at a time with a spatula.

If your tube cake pan does not have fairly straight edges, add a bit of the egg as 'glue' to prevent the cake bottom from falling out when turned upside down to cool.

Choose a tube pan with feet to cool the cake upside down completely before removing it from the pan.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake for 40-45 minutes.
