08 Step

Recipe View Immediately invert the cake in the pan onto a wire rack, empty wine bottle, or thin-necked glass bottle to cool completely. This prevents the cake from collapsing. (Cooling time: 2-3 hours)

For best results, use room-temperature egg whites. This will help them whip to a greater volume.
Ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely clean and free of any grease or residue, as this can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
When folding in the flour, use a gentle hand to avoid deflating the egg whites. A rubber spatula works best for this task.
Do not grease the tube pan, as the cake needs to cling to the sides to rise properly.
Cool the cake completely before removing it from the pan. Use a thin knife or spatula to loosen the edges if necessary.

    The almond extract really complements the cherries. I added a dusting of powdered sugar on top for a simple yet elegant presentation.

    Great recipe! Next time, I might try using different types of berries for a variation.
