I’m looking for a really easy recipe for vanilla cake. Does anyone know any without baking soda or baking powder?

1 1/2 c egg whites; (about 11 large)
2 ts warm water
1 ts cream of tartar
2 ts vanilla extract
1 powdered sugar
1 crystallized ginger; (optional), thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350oF. Sift 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt into medium bowl 5 times. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large (at least 4-quart) bowl until foamy. Add 2 teaspoons warm water and cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff but not dry.
