Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cake flour sifted
- 12 egg whites from large eggs room temperature
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor spin sugar about 2 minutes until it is superfine.
- Sift half of the sugar with the salt and the cake flour, setting the remaining sugar aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the egg whites, water, extracts, and cream of tartar. Mix together for about 1 minute on low.
- Slowly sift the reserved sugar in, beating continuously at medium speed.
- Once you have achieved medium peaks, sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a spatula fold in gently.
- Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.
- Carefully spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes before checking for doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall, the skewer should come out dry).
- Cool upside down on cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from pan.
Notes
- Cake flour: Cake flour helps to make the cake nice and tender. If you don't have cake flour, this DIY cake flour recipe will help you how to make a good substitute.
- Eggs: Using room temperature eggs will help the eggs to whip up better than using cold eggs.
- Vanilla extract: I recommend using pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Almond extract: The extract adds a little something extra to the cake, but it's optional. Feel free to omit it if necessary.
