1 cup cake flour

11⁄2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon almond extract

Adjust oven rack to position 2. In Dacor Guide, select Angel Food Cake. Allow oven to preheat. Sift powdered sugar and cake flour together. Add cream of tartar to whites. Beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Add almond extract. Fold dry mixture into whites 1⁄4 at a time. Stir with a whisk to incorporate fully. Pour into ungreased 10" tube pan. Using a rubber spatula, cut through batter to get rid of air pockets. Place in oven and set timer for 25-35 minutes. Bake until risen and browned. Top should spring back and should not be sticky in the folds.
