Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups egg whites (about 9)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar divided
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Sift 1/2 cup sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
  • Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 350°. Add cream of tartar, extracts, and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Yield: 12-16 servings.
