Bake the Cake
Line two half sheet pans with Gefen Parchment Paper. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift together potato starch, cocoa and salt. Set aside. Place the room temperature egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and half the sugar until the mixture is light yellow and tripled in volume, about three minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically. Add in the water and vanilla. Beat on high for another minute until the water and vanilla are incorporated.
Using a large rubber spatula, fold in half the sifted dry ingredients into the yolk mixture.
Combine room temperature egg whites with the vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer fitted with a clean, dry, whisk attachment, whip egg whites on high speed until very foamy and increased in volume. Gradually add remaining sugar in a steady stream. Whip just until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions. Sift remaining dry ingredients into the egg mixture in two additions, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl and being very careful not to deflate the batter.
Divide the batter between the two pans. Smooth with a spatula. Bake for 15 minutes. Rotate pans and bake an additional seven minutes, until cakes spring back when touched. Remove from oven and place on racks to cool.
