Method

45g cake flour
20g corn starch
20g organic coconut milk powder
75g icing sugar
4 A egg whites, room temperature
25ml warm water
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

3. Beat egg whites and warm water with a mixer on low speed until foamy, about 3 minutes. Add cream of tartar, vanilla and salt.
4. Increase speed to medium, and beat until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
5. With machine running, add remaining icing sugar, a little at a time. Increase speed to high, and beat until peaks are stiff and glossy, about 2 minutes.
6. Working in 3 batches, sift flour mixture over egg-white mixture, gently folding in each addition with a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate egg whites.
7. Slowly pour batter into a 6.5" pan.
8. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched, 40 to 45 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven after 5 mintues, carefully invert pan onto a wire rack. Let cake cool in pan, about 1-2 hours.
