Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat together the oil, egg yolks, water, and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the egg white mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into an ungreased chiffon cake pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.
