Time 2h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unsalted butter
3 cups sugar, plus more for sweetening the strawberries
6 large eggs, separated
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 quarts strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
Sweetened whipped cream for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and 2 cups of the sugar. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, soda and salt. Sift again. Stir the flour mixture into the bowl in 3 additions, alternating with additions of sour cream. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg whites and last cup of sugar until the mixture holds stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Grease and flour an angel-food cake pan and scrape the batter into it. Bake until the cake is golden and a cake tester or wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine the strawberries and sugar to taste in a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour. When ready to serve, slice the cake and top each serving with strawberries and whipped cream.
