For the Cake

12 large Egg Whites Essential for achieving the cake's signature lightness and airy texture.
1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the cake and helps stabilize the whipped egg whites for that fluffy goodness.
1 cup Cake Flour Provides a delicate crumb; substitute with all-purpose flour if needed, but the texture may not be as fine.
2 cups Raspberries Gives a burst of fruity flavor and vibrant color; fresh or frozen can be used, just ensure frozen raspberries are well-drained.

For Dusting and Topping

1 cup Powdered Sugar Adds a touch of sweetness and visual appeal when dusted on top before serving.
1 cup Whipped Cream Enhances the cake's lightness and creaminess; Greek yogurt can be a healthier substitute for a delightful twist.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and select a 10-inch tube pan, without greasing it.
In a large, grease-free mixing bowl, whip the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually sprinkle in sugar while increasing the speed to high, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
Sift the cake flour over the whipped egg whites and gently fold in.
Gently fold in the raspberries into your batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, smoothing the top with a spatula and tapping to release air bubbles.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until it springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
Invert the pan on a cooling rack immediately to cool completely for at least an hour.
Run a knife around the cake to release it from the pan, then dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream and raspberries.

Ensure all equipment is clean and grease-free to whip the egg whites effectively. Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor.
