1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
9 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Separate egg whites and add 3/4 cup sugar and cream of tartar and mix until stiff peaks. Sift flour and add egg yolks and other 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla and almond. Add the two mixtures together and combine with spatula until even. Bake in ungreased tin lined with wax or foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. (I use this recipe for ice box cakes and for fruity gateau and trifle soaked with rum.)
