Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 ½ cups egg whites
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons apple cider, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place a rack at the lowest position in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Prepare cake: Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until smooth and glossy and stiff peaks form. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts on low speed.

Step 3

Combine confectioners' sugar and cake flour in a bowl; gently fold into the egg mixture. Pour into an ungreased, 10-inch fluted tube pan such as Bundt®.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown and the cracks feel dry, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately invert cake pan; let cool completely, about 2 hours.

Step 5

Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and remove onto a serving plate.

Step 6

Prepare glaze: melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in confectioners' sugar and cinnamon. Slowly add apple cider until glaze is thin enough to drizzle.
