In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. With mixer running on low, slowly incporate granulated sugar. Increase speed and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla.
Fold in dry mixture in 3-4 additions, folding until batter is streak free and no dry ingredients remain.
Prepare a large piping bag or gallon sized plastic bag with a round piping tip. Transfer batter to prepared piping bag. Divide mixture equally between 6 cupcake liners. Batter will be well above the top of each liner.
