1/4 tsp cream of tartar

2 tbsp butter, softened

To make the cake:

In a separate bowl, beat the egg white with the cream of tartar until it forms stiff peaks.  Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the egg white, and fold, trying to not lose the air in the egg whites.  Pour into a greased 8 inch cake pan.  Bake for 1 1/4 hours at 325 degrees F until it springs back when touched lightly.  Invert on a cooling rack, and leave in the pan until it is cool, remove pan, and frost.
