In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, then sprinkle in cream of tartar and vanilla, beating until stiff but not dry. Beat in remaining cup sugar a little at a time until whites are in stiff, glossy peaks. Carefully fold in flour mixture.

Turn into greased 10-inch tube pan. Bake 45-50 minutes. Cake should be springy to the touch. Cool 3-4 hours, then run knife around edge to loosen, invert onto platter.
