Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile prepare pudding according to package directions, reducing water to 2 cups. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and cool to room temperature.
  2. Add cream of tartar and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour, 1/4 cup at a time.
  3. Divide mixture in half. Fold vanilla into one portion; set aside. In another bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in almond extract. Fold in unflavored egg white batter.
  4. Alternately spoon white and yellow batters into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Gently cut through batter with a knife to swirl. Bake on the lowest rack at 325° for 45-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
  5. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Using a whisk, fold into cooled pudding. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  6. Cut six marshmallows with a 1-1/4-in. scalloped round cookie cutter; cut holes in the centers with an apple corer or 3/4-in. round cutter. Brush tops with warm corn syrup; dip tops and sides in sugar. Cut 15 marshmallows with a 2-in. teardrop-shaped cookie cutter; brush with corn syrup and coat with sugar.
  7. Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate; split into two horizontal layers. Spread pudding mixture between layers and over top and sides of cake. Just before serving, decorate with cutouts to make daffodils. Yield: 12 servings.
