Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Sift together the cake flour and ½ cup of granulated sugar four times.
In a large metal bowl combine the egg whites, salt, cream of tarter, vanilla and almond extract. Beat with wire whip until soft peaks form.
Add 1 ⅓ cup sugar in 4 additions (⅓ cup at a time, repeat 4x until you have added a total of 1 ⅓ cups.), beat until blended after each addition. DON'T SCRAPE THE SIDES OF THE BOWL!
Add flour mixture in 4 additions by folding in with large metal spoon each time. Turn bowl often while mixing and adding.
Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan (don't scrape, use metal spoon). Cut through batter with metal spatula.
Baked in preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes. Cool upside down.

Notes

For best results, you'll need to make sure that no air can reach the cake. Either transfer slices to an airtight container or tightly wrap the entire cake in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature for 1-2 days.
FRIDGE: You can store in the fridge, but you'll want to double wrap your cake or place it into a plastic bag so that it doesn't absorb odors. Store for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
FREEZER: For best results, slice the cake before freezing. Then wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before eating.
