Ingredients
12 egg whites
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
2 to 3 drops pink gel food coloring
3 cups whipped pink frosting
1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease your tube pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue beating to soft peaks.
3. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating to stiff glossy peaks.
4. Sift flour over the egg mixture in batches, folding gently after each addition.
5. Add vanilla, almond extract (if using), and pink food coloring. Fold gently until just combined.
6. Pour batter into the tube pan. Smooth the top evenly.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
8. Invert the cake upside down and cool completely in the pan.
9. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges to release.
10. Frost with pink whipped frosting and top with sprinkles.
Notes
Do not grease the pan; the batter needs to cling to the sides to rise properly.
Use gel food coloring to maintain the batter’s texture and color vibrancy.
