Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1-1/4 cups egg whites (about 9 large)
- 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- Fresh berries and whipped cream
Instruction
- Place egg whites in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, sift 1/2 cup sugar and flour together twice. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, extracts and salt on medium speed, until soft peaks form. Add remaining sugar, about 2 Tbsp. at a time. Beat on high speed, until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube or bundt pan. Using a sharp knife, cut through batter to remove air pockets. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until light brown and top of cake appears dry. Immediately invert pan onto a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Serve with whipped cream and berries, if desired. Enjoy!
