Ingredients:  

12 egg whites

1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup sifted cake flour

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat egg white with cream of tartar at high speed until foamy. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks. Beat in flavorings.
Sift together flour, remaining sugar and salt. Sift about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture over whites and gently fold just until flour disappears. Repeat, folding in remaining flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time. Pour into ungreased tube pan. Gently cut through batter with metal spatula.
Bake in preheated 325 degrees oven until top springs back when lightly touched with finger, about 30 to 40 minutes. Invert cake in pan on funnel or bottle neck. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove to serving plate.

CHOCOLATE VERSION:
Omit almond extract and increase vanilla to 2 tsp. Reduce flour to 2/3 cup and sift in 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa. Prepare batter and bake as above.
