Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes.

1

With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the sugar, vanilla, baking powder, and salt.

2

Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until glossy, stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes more.

3

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chopped walnuts and crushed Maria crackers. Fold just until combined.

4

Transfer the mixture to the previously prepared pan and smooth the top.

5

Bake for 48 to 50 minutes. Then, remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 2 hours.

6

To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese, then add the rest of ingredients and beat until creamy and smooth.

7

Remove the cake from the pan. Spread the frosting over the top and decorate with sliced strawberries.

8

Serve and enjoy!

Use room-temperature egg whites and make sure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean, dry, and free of grease. Even a small amount of yolk or fat can keep the whites from whipping properly.
