If you happen to don’t have cake flour, you’ll be able to substitute it by utilizing all-purpose flour and cornstarch (for each cup of cake flour, use 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons of cornstarch).

Almond extract is evident so it’s ultimate for a white batter. You should purchase clear vanilla extract to make use of if you happen to favor that taste. The almond extract on this recipe may also be diminished by half if desired. I personally favor the normal almond taste.
