Ingredients

  • 1 cup (8 large) egg whites
  • 2/3 cup white rice flour*
  • 1 3/4 cups plus 1 1/2 tbsp. superfine sugar, divided
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon Champagne vinegar
  • 1 pinch of kosher salt
  • Powdered sugar
  • Candied Kumquats

Instructions

  1. Let egg whites come to cool room temperature. Preheat oven to 375 °. Spread rice flour in a pie pan and bake, stirring a few times, until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let flour cool (chill to speed up), then stir in 1/4 cup superfine sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds. Sift mixture or rub through a coarse strainer to release oil from zest (add any flavorings that don't go through back to flour); set aside.
  2. Butter a 10-in. tube pan with a removable bottom and dust with 1 1/2 tbsp. superfine sugar; set aside. In a small bowl, blend remaining 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar with the cream of tartar.
  3. In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites with salt on medium speed. When frothy, gradually add sugar mixture over about 1 1/2 minutes. Add vinegar in a slow stream. Continue to beat on medium speed until whites are glossy and hold very soft peaks that fold over when whisk is lifted, 8 to 9 minutes.
  4. With a large plastic spatula, transfer whites to a wide bowl. Sprinkle with one-third of flour mixture and gently fold in. Repeat with remaining flour. Pour batter into pan; spread level.
  5. Bake cake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 ° and continue to bake until cake is deep golden, begins to pull from sides of pan, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 minutes. Set on a cooling rack until barely cool enough to handle, 10 minutes. Place a cake stand over pan, gently invert cake, and remove pan bottom. Let cool completely, 1 hour.
  6. Sift powdered sugar over cake and serve with candied kumquats.
