This was really good. I tried it with fat-free and regular cream cheese and all came out very fluffy and smooth. It looked really nice too. I also added a bit of lemon juice to the egg whites because i didn't have any cream of tartar.
The slight tartness was good. The bottom of the cake will be a little wet when a toothpick is inserted even when it is fully cooked. Upon cooling it will be fine! loved it my family devoured them!

Pour the mixture into a 8-inch round cake pan (lightly grease and line the bottom and sides of the pan with grease-proof baking paper or parchment paper).
