1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. almond flavor

Have egg whites at room temperature. Preheat oven to 375°F. Measure sifted flour. Add 1/2 cup sugar. Sift together 4 times. Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, salt and flavorings in large bowl. Beat with beater until soft peaks form. Add remaining sugar in 4 additions, beating until well blended each time. Sift in flour mixture in 4 additions, folding in with large spoon each time; turn bowl often. Pour into ungreased 10-inch tube pan. (If you've baked another kind of cake in pan, pour boiling water over it and dry with paper towel before pouring in cake.)
