In a clean dry bowl, beat egg white, remainder 30 gm of sugar, cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until stiff. Mix the eggwhite into the flour mixture and mix it thoroughly and gently using a spatula. Pour into a 20cm chiffon pan and bake in a preheated oven at 160C for 45 mins. (My oven is fan assisted. If conventional oven, bake it at 175C )

When cake is baked, invert it immediately to cool down for about 10 mins. After 10 mins, use a sharp knife to loosen the side and then the bottom to release the cake. Leave it on a wire rack to cool down further.
