Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites about 11-12 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  • Using an electric hand or stand mixer beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Add in cream of tartar and almond extract (vanilla too if using this as well). Beat in until incorporated.
  • In a large mixing bowl add flour, sugar and salt. Sift together 5-6 times.
  • Gently fold in the flour mixture into egg mixture, fold until combined and no flour mixture can be seen.
  • Pour cake batter into 10-inch tube pan. (DO NOT GREASE PAN!)
  • Place pan in the oven. Turn on oven to 325 degrees. Cook for an hour or until cake is a nice golden brown.
  • Invert cake pan like shown above and allow it to completely cool. When cooled remove from the pan. 
    Tip: take a butter knife and gently go around the edges of the pan to help release the cake. This allows for a clean removal.
