Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 12 fresh large egg whites (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and adjust the rack to the lower middle position.
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and almond extract, then beat on high until soft peaks form (about 5–6 minutes).
- Sift cake flour, granulated sugar, and salt together in another bowl at least five times.
- Gradually sift the flour mixture into the egg whites in three parts, folding gently after each addition to maintain airiness.
- Pour the batter into an ungreased tube pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack for at least two hours before removing the cake.
- Once cooled, slice horizontally in half and layer with whipped cream and sliced strawberries before reassembling. Top with more whipped cream and strawberries.
