Ingredients
Scale
- 120 grams gluten-free cake flour blend, sifted
- 300 grams granulated sugar, divided
- 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your 10-inch tube pan but do NOT grease it.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted gluten-free cake flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Set this mixture aside.
- In a clean, dry stand mixer bowl, combine the room temperature egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
- With the mixer running, gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until stiff, glossy peaks form. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Sift about a quarter of the flour mixture over the whipped egg whites. Gently fold it in with a figure-8 motion. Repeat, sifting and folding in the flour in three more additions, until no dry streaks remain.
- Gently spoon the batter into your ungreased tube pan and smooth the top. Run a knife through the batter to pop any large air bubbles.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the crust feels dry and firm when lightly touched.
- Immediately invert the pan onto its feet or over the neck of a bottle. Let the cake cool completely upside down, for at least 2 hours.
- Once completely cool, run a long, thin knife around the edges of the pan and the center tube to loosen the cake. Gently remove it from the pan.
