Method (preview)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375.

2. 2

   Let the egg whites come to room temperature in a large mixer bowl.

3. 3

   Be sure there is not a speck of yolk in the whites or they won't beat up.

4. 4

   Sift the flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar together 5 times.

5. 5

   Add the salt to the egg whites and beat until foamy on medium speed.

6. 6

   Sprinkle in the cream of tartar and the extracts. (The cream of tartar will stabilize the foam and keep it white.) Continue beating until the whites are stiff and stand in peaks, about 3 minutes, but don't overbeat until dry.

7. 7

   Beat only until the sugar is blended, about 1 1/2 minutes.

8. 8

   Turn mixer to low and sprinkle in the sifted flour-sugar mixture evenly and quickly.

9. 9

   Beat only enough to blend, about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping the bowl to help speed the process.

10. 10

    Pour batter into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan and draw a thin spatula or knife around the pan in a circular motion 3 times (to reduce any air pockets.)

11. 11

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cake is golden brown.

12. 12

    Remove and set the pan upside down to cool and set the cake.

13. 13

    Serve unfrosted or with a fresh fruit sauce.

14. 14

    This cake freezes well.
