Makes 1 (9-inch) cake
INGREDIENTS:
14 egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
1¾ cups confectioners’ sugar, divided
1 teaspoon almond extract
1¼ cups cake flour
1½ (2.6-ounce) packages whipped dairy topping
1½ cups cold milk
Strawberry Filling (recipe follows)
Garnish: fresh strawberries, fresh raspberries, fresh blueberries, fresh blackberries, and fresh cherries
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line 3 (9-inch) cake pans with parchment paper circles.
In a large bowl, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat at high speed with a mixer until foamy. With mixer running, gradually add 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; beat until stiff peaks form. Add almond extract.
Into a small bowl, sift together cake flour and remaining ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar. Gently fold into egg white mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pans.
Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Invert cake pans onto a cooling rack, and cool cakes in pans for 30 minutes. Gently run a knife around edges to release sides. Remove cakes from pans, and gently peel off parchment paper. Let cool completely on wire racks.
In a large bowl, combine whipped dairy topping (3 envelopes) and cold milk. Beat at low speed with a mixer for 1 minute. Beat at medium-high speed for 5 to 6 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
Spread Strawberry Filling over 2 cake layers. Spread 1 cup whipped dairy topping over Strawberry Filling on bottom cake layer. Top with second cake layer, Strawberry Filling side up. Spread 1 cup whipped dairy topping over filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining whipped dairy topping. Garnish with fresh berries and cherries, if desired. Store cake, covered, in refrigerator.
