1 cup cake flour
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided

1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

peaks form but mixture is still moist and glossy. Add remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at
a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour mixture, a fourth at a time,

addition. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan (pan will be very full).
Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until top crust is golden brown and cracks
feel dry. Immediately invert cake in pan to cool completely. Loosen sides of cake
from pan and remove.
Yield: 16 servings.
