    Source of Recipe

    BH&G Dessert Book

    List of Ingredients

    1 c Sifted cake flour
    1 1/4 c Confectioners sugar -sifted
    1 1/2 c Egg whites (12 eggs)
    1 1/2 ts Cream of tartar
    1/4 ts Salt
    1 1/2 ts Vanilla
    1/4 ts Almond extract
    1 c Sugar

    Recipe

    Sift flour and confectioners sugar three times. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar, salt, vanilla and almond extract till stiff enough to hold up in soft peaks, but still moist and glossy. Beat in the granulated sugar, two tablespoons at a time, continuing to beat until meringue holds stiff peaks. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over whites; fold in lightly with down up and over motion, turning bowl. Fold in remaining flour by fourths. Bake in an ungreased 10 inch tube pan in moderate oven (375) about 30 minutes or until done. Invert pan, cool thoroughly.


    TROUBLE SHOOTING:
    Tough Cake: too hot an oven, not enough sugar, over mixing
    Course Texture: Underbeaten egg whites, insufficient blending of ingredients; too slow an oven
    Cracks in Crust: Overbeaten egg whites; too much sugar; too hot an oven
    Sticky Crust: Too much sugar; underbaking
    Undersized Cake: Underbeaten, overbeaten whites; Overmixing; too large a pan; too hot an oven
