This is what I thought to be a weird cake procedure. I went ahead and made it and have been baking it ever since. The last ten years I moved to an apartment which has different tempermental stove and have only made it twice. I recommend that you know your oven temperature well and is accurate. This is between an Angel Food Cake and a Moist White cake. Very good served plain or with fruit and whipped cream. Give it a try.

    Tips, use a two piece tube pan. When I first read this recipe I didn't know if the pan should be greased or ungreased, turned upside down or left right side up for cooling. So I went with trial and error and treated it as an angel cake, and it worked fine. If you use a one piece tube pan I would place a piece of parchment on bottom for easy removal. Also please use both of the teaspoon each of vanilla and almond the combination makes the true flavour of an angel cake.
