Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the sugar, cream of tartar and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Add the egg whites and 2 tablespoons water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on low speed until the whites are foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and slowly sprinkle in the sugar mixture (this should take about 3 minutes). Watching closely, continue beating until medium-soft peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes longer. (You want the mixture to droop when lifted out of the bowl. If the peaks stand straight up, you have taken it too far and the cake will sink during baking). Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.
• Remove the mixing bowl from the stand and working in three additions, very gently fold the flour into the egg whites until just incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch footed angel food cake pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until the top is golden and springs back when touched and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the cake upside-down on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan, about 3 hours.
• Run a knife or a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan and gently tap it on the counter until it releases from the pan. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the cake -- a regular knife will smash it. Serve with berries and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• To make the Crust: First you want to put your graham crackers in a bowl and crush them to death!
• You want to have very fine pieces!
• After this add 2 teaspoons of softened butter and 2 teaspoons of sugar and mix well.
• Then add to the springform pan and smooth out over the bottom so that it is evenly distributed.
• Your crust is now done!
• As for the cake: Add all cake ingredients except vanilla into a very large mixing bowl and mix until smooth (sometimes after mixing by hand for awhile I use a mixer) then add your 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
• When all done mixing you want to very slowly pour the cake mix into your springform pan with the graham crackers so that you do not push your crust everywhere.
• Pour it in the middle and let spread by itself.
• You want to fill the pan about 3/4 full maybe a little more but not to the top as it will overflow.
• Then put the cheesecake into the oven and place a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on top as not to touch the cake and let cook for 45 minutes.
• Then remove foil and cook an additional 5-15 minutes or until slightly darker yellow tinge becomes visible on the outside top edge.
• Then turn off oven heat and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 1 hour.
• After this you must remove the cake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 1 day (2 days and it will cut better).
• I know this might be a tease but it will be worth the wait!
• I promise.
• And just so you know ever since I created this evil cheesecake I now have to make it for everybody all the time so be warned.
