Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups egg whites
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup cake flour
⅓ cup unsalted butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons apple cider, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Place a rack at the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Prepare cake: Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until smooth and glossy and stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts on low speed.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar and cake flour in a bowl; gently fold into the egg mixture. Pour into an ungreased, 10-inch fluted tube pan such as Bundt®.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown and the cracks feel dry, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately invert cake pan; let cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and remove onto a serving plate.
  • Prepare glaze: melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in confectioners' sugar and cinnamon. Slowly add apple cider until glaze is thin enough to drizzle.
