In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and spices. Whisk well.
In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolks, water and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the egg yolk mixture along with the oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until they are stiff and hold peaks.
Fold the egg whites into the batter until it is evenly mixed in.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 10" tube cake pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when you touch it.
Immediately turn the cake upside down and let it rest on glasses to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, turn it over and use a long knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the pan.
Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cake plate.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
