Ingredients




12 eggs
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2 Separate eggs.  Make sure no yolk is with the whites or the whites will not whip. 3 Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1-1/2 cups. 4 Place in a mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 5 Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together so that there are no lumps. 6 Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on high speed. 7 Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. 8 Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. 9 Bake for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. 10 Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.
