List of Ingredients
1-1/4 cups cake flour (sifted)
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 egg whites (room temperature)
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Recipe
In a large bowl, sift together flour, 3/4 cup sugar and salt. Resift 3
times. Set aside.
Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat
until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 2
Tablespoons at a time, until mixture holds stiff peaks.
Fold in vanilla and almond extracts. Add 1/4 flour mixture at a time,
folding in gently. Then gently spoon batter into ungreased 10" angel
food cake pan. Cut through center of batter 2 or 3 times with spatula
to remove large air bubbles.
Bake at 350-degrees F. for 45 minutes or until top springs back when
touched with finger and a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes
out clean. Invert pan over bottle or inverted funnel and let stand
until completely cool. When cool, loosen sides and center with metal
spatula and turn onto cake platter.
