  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend and cornstarch until well combined.
  3. Blend white sugar in a food processor until super-fine.
  4. In a clean bowl, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat until frothy, then increase speed and whip until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the processed super-fine sugar while beating until glossy and medium-stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in three separate additions.

  8. Bake for 45-47 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  9. Cool the cake upside down on a cooling rack for at least one hour.
