Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 1/4 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites, about 12
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar

For the frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 5 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 3 cups strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Sift together the cake flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with a metal bowl and whisk attachment, combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla, and almond extract. Whip until soft peaks start to form. Add the rest of the sugar in 4 separate additions, blending until each addition is absorbed. Do not scrape the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the flour mixture in 4 seperate additions, FOLDING it into the batter with a metal serving spoon. Using the same metal spoon, spoon the batter into an ungreased metal angel food bundt pan. Gently smooth out the top and run a knife through the middle of the batter to give it room to expand.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Invert the cake pan upside down onto a bottle and cool for at least an hour upside down.
  • Once the cake is cool, prepare the frosting in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Using an offset spatula, frost the cake. Top with summer berries as desired.
