Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 10-inch tube pan.

2. Stage

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set mixture aside.

3. Stage

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Set aside.

Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
