7500 ft Oven temperature: 400º
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp sifted cake flour
3/4 cup sugar + 2 tbs
l 3/4 cups egg whites (refrigerator temperature)
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar

Steps:

Sift flour and 1 cup sugar together three times. Place egg whites, salt and cream of tartar into mixing bowl and beat at high speed until fairly stiff (not stiff peak). Slowly add 1/2 cup sugar, close to beater. Add almond extract and vanilla. Beat until quite stiff but not dry. Add sifted sugar-flour mixture by fourths. Mix on low speed 10 seconds after each of first three additions and 20 seconds after last addition. Scrape down sides constantly while mixing. Pour batter into a 10-inch, ungreased tube pan. Bake at 400º, for approximately 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in inverted pan.
