Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups cake flour

1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

12 large egg whites

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and ensure the oven rack is in the lower third.

2. In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, then add the cream of tartar.

4. Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually add the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.

5. Add vanilla and almond extracts to the meringue, folding gently.

6. Gradually sift the dry ingredients over the meringue, folding gently with a spatula after each addition.

7. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top, and tap the pan to remove any large air bubbles.

8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

9. Invert the cake pan on a wire rack to cool completely before removing the cake from the pan and dusting with confectioners' sugar.
