6 egg whites
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat egg whites (in a previously chilled glass bowl and chilled beaters - this will give you a stiffer effect) and cream of tartar, beat until stiff. Add salt, sugar and vanilla. Pour into buttered tube pan. Put in oven. TURN OVEN OFF. Leave at least 4 hours - best and easiest to leave overnight.

ICING:

1/2 pt. whipping cream
1/4 c. sugar

Beat in previously chilled glass bowl and chilled beaters. Frost cake. Serve with fruit of choice. Strawberries mixed with sugar are great!
