Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° with rack in bottom third.
The Cake
- Whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until frothy. Add lemon juice, cream of tartar, and vanilla; increase speed to medium, and continue beating until soft and billowy.

- Sift flour mixture over meringue, in four increments, gently folding with a whisk after each addition, until incorporated.

- Bake cake until the top is golden, cracks are dry, and it pulls away from the sides, 55–60 minutes.
- Invert cake onto the neck of a bottle; cool completely before removing from pan, about 2 hours.
The Whipped Cream
- Whip cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Serve cake with strawberries, syrup, and whipped cream.
