Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing your egg whites in a large bowl at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Sift together 0.5 cups of sugar and the cake flour twice, ensuring a light combination devoid of lumps.
- Position the oven rack at the lowest level and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In your bowl with the egg whites, add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar, two tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat on high until you reach stiff peaks, approximately 2-4 minutes more.
- Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the whipped egg whites, adding about 0.5 cups at a time.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and distribute evenly.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is lightly browned and springs back when touched.
- Invert the pan immediately and allow the cake to cool completely for about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, run a knife along the edges to loosen the cake gently and remove it from the pan.
- Serve topped with whipped cream and fresh berries.

Notes
Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for optimal volume. Do not grease the tube pan to allow proper rising.
