- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar

- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions:
- 1 Measure sifted cake flour, baking powder, and salt; sift together three times.
- 2 In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add 1/2 cup sugar gradually, and continue beating only until meringue will hold up in soft peaks.
- 3 Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add sifted ingredients alternately with milk a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Mix in flavorings. Add meringue, and mix thoroughly into batter. Spread batter in a 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan which has been lined on the bottom with parchment paper.
