  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Sift flour three times.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Blend in vanilla and almond extract.
  • Fold sifted flour into egg white mixture until no streaks remain. Pour 1/2 of the batter into a clean, dry 10-inch tube pan, and arrange 1/2 of the cherries overtop. Repeat once more.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Cool cake in the pan, inverted onto a wire rack, empty wine bottle, or thin-necked glass bottle; this will prevent the cake from sinking.
