1-1/4 cups (300 mL) sifted cake-and-pastry_flour
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) egg whites (about 11)
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) cream of tartar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla
1/2 cup (125 mL) mini or regular chocolate chips

1/3 cup (75 mL) whipping cream
1 tsp (5 mL) corn syrup
Preparation:
Into bowl, sift flour with 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the sugar; sift again into separate bowl. Set aside.
In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add lemon juice, cream of tartar and sa< beat until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining sugar, 2 tbsp (25 mL) at a time, until stiff glossy peaks form. Sift flour mixture over top, one-quarter at a time, gently folding in each addition until blended. Fold in vanilla and chocolate chips. Pour into ungreased 10-inch (4 L) tube pan. Run spatula through batter to eliminate any large air bubbles; smooth top.
