Ingredients
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 cups egg whites (6 to 8 eggs)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup sugar together three times. Set aside. Whip the egg whites until foamy with the whisk attachment of an electric mixer. Gradually beat in the rest of the sugar. Add the extracts and the salt. Beat just until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
With a whisk or spatula fold the flour and sugar mixture by thirds into the egg whites. Place the batter in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back to the touch. Invert the cake until cool. Remove it from the pan and serve.
