Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar twice to ensure a light, airy texture. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture on medium-high speed. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, approximately 2–3 minutes more.
Gently fold in the vanilla extract using a spatula.
Sift 1/3 of the dry ingredient mixture over the whipped egg whites and fold gently to incorporate. Repeat in two more additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool completely in the ramekins. Once cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen and gently remove the cakes.
Serve plain, or with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.
