INGREDIENTS
Cake Base
- 🧁 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 🧂 ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
- 🥚 1 ½ cups egg whites
- 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 🧂 1 cup white sugar
Icing
- 🧂 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 🧈 ¼ cup butter, softened
- 🥛 3 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
STEPS
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash an angel food tube pan with hot soapy water to ensure it is grease-free. Let it dry completely. Sift flour and ¾ cup confectioners' sugar together three times; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and salt on high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, vanilla, and almond extracts; beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Sift approximately ¼ of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites and fold gently with a flat spatula. Repeat this process with the remaining flour mixture in four parts. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan. Use a knife to gently cut through the batter to remove air pockets.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until an inserted wooden skewer comes out clean. Invert the pan onto a wire rack and let it cool for 1 hour.
For the icing, beat 2 cups confectioners' sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional cream or sugar as needed. Spread frosting over the cooled cake.
