Time 2h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup water
1 ½ cups white sugar
12 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon orange extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a saucepan over medium heat combine the water and the white sugar, boil until mixture spins a thread approximately 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites, salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy but not stiff. Add hot syrup slowly to egg whites, beating until cool, about 15 minutes.
  • Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Fold 1/3 cup of the egg whites into the beaten egg yolks to lighten.
  • Sift 1 cup flour over the egg whites and gently fold in. Add almond flavoring.
  • Sift remaining flour over egg yolks and fold in orange flavoring. Spoon egg white batter and egg yolk batter alternately into one ungreased 9-inch tube pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. Once cool frost with yellow tinted Seven Minute Frosting.
