Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, or line with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner slices.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
With the mixer on low speed, add the egg whites one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Start checking around 45 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the whipped cream.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the berries before serving.
This cake can be made a day in advance for ease of preparation.
Use a mix of berries for a colorful and delicious topping.
