It’s cream of tartar. By the way, there’s been correction on the recipe:

以下是來自徐老師的解答：
塔塔粉是一種酸性的白色粉末，蛋糕製作時的主要用途是幫助蛋白打發以及中和蛋白的鹼性，因為蛋白的鹼性很強。而且蛋儲存得愈久，蛋白的鹼性就愈強，而用大量蛋白做製作的食物都有鹼味且色帶黃，加了塔塔粉不但可中和鹼味，顏色也會較雪白。如果沒有塔塔粉，也可以用一些檸檬汁或橘子汁或者白醋來代替，但是使用的份量要斟酌，因為這些果汁的酸度不一。一般說來，一茶匙塔塔粉可用一大匙檸檬汁或白醋代替，但要減少約十公克蛋白用量。使用白醋不需擔心醋味，和蛋白的鹼性中和及在烘焙後是感覺不太出來的。
Can you tell us how to make the cake frosting too??? By the way, are there 2 different cake recipes? When I read the Chinese version, is asks for kahlua wine and pumpkin, but nothing like these were mentioned on the English version. Thanks.
They are actually the same recipe.
我問了徐老師做frosting的方法，提供給你參考：
Butter frosting：Cream Cheese 400g，Butter 200g，Sugar Powder 150g，
Vanilla 1 t.。
做法：打發以上奶酪奶油糖霜的所有用料，至蓬鬆，裝入袋，擠在蛋糕上。
