Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided)
  • 12 large egg whites
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
  • Sift together cake flour and 1/2 cup sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until frothy.
  • Gradually add the remaining 1 cup sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
  • Fold in the flour mixture gently, followed by vanilla and almond extract.
  • Spoon batter into cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for better volume.
  • Avoid grease or fat, which can deflate the egg whites.
  • Serve plain, with fresh fruit, or topped with whipped cream for a light finish.
