Ingredients

Units Scale

Cupcakes:

  • 1 cup cake flour, sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Topping:

  • Fresh berries and whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners (do not grease).
  2. Prepare the flour: Sift together the cake flour and 1/2 cup of sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Beat egg whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt, continue beating until soft peaks form.
  4. Add sugar: Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Flavor the batter: Gently fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  6. Incorporate flour: Sift the flour mixture over the whipped egg whites in three additions, gently folding after each until fully mixed.
  7. Bake: Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, bake for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden and springy to the touch.
  8. Cool and top: Let cupcakes cool in the pan, then top with whipped cream and berries if desired.

Notes

  • Use a metal or glass bowl for beating egg whites for best results.
  • These cupcakes are naturally low in fat and ideal for light desserts or summer gatherings.
