Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter.
