- 4 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Use a large mixing bowl to beat the egg whites, as they will expand quite a bit.
- Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the batter, as you don't want to deflate them.

Instructions:

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, lime zest, egg yolks, and water.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
5. In another large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
6. Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
7. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
11. Once cooled, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
12. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar.
