  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil and set aside.
  2. 2 Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. 3 Whip together the egg whites in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the cream of tartar and whip until soft peaks form, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the egg whites to a separate bowl.
  4. 4 Beat the egg yolks in the mixing bowl using a paddle attachment until thick and pale in color. Add the granulated sugar and beat on high for about 5 minutes, until very thick and ribbons fall when you lift the paddle attachment. Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract and milk until smooth. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. 5 Fold in the egg whites, in three increments, making sure to thoroughly incorporate the whites but try not to over-mix.
  6. 6 Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. 7 Whisk together the three milks in a medium bowl. Whisk in the rum and vanilla extract. Using a wooden skewer, poke holes all throughout the cooled cake. This will allow for the milk mixture to seep in. Pour the milk evenly over the cake. Cover with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil and allow to chill in the fridge for about 3 hours or overnight.
  8. 8 Whip together the heavy cream along with the powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cake. Decorate with sprinkles and cherries. Slice generously and enjoy!

Instructions

  1. 1 Place almonds and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a food processor; process to a meal-like consistency, scraping down the sides and over the bottom of the bowl as needed. Don't overprocess it; at this point, the mixture should still be crumbly, not paste-like.
  2. 2 Add beaten egg white and almond extract; process until it lumps together. If it remains crumbly, add more egg white, a few drops at a time.
  3. 3 Use a silicone spatula to remove almond paste from the food processor. If not using right away, wrap almond paste in waxed paper and store in an airtight container to use within a few hours. Or, place wrapped almond paste in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.

  1. 1 Inspect five (½-pint) jars for cracks and rings for rust; discard any defective ones. Immerse the jars and rings in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  2. 2 Measure finely chopped, peeled nectarines; you should have 4 1/2 cups. Add to a heavy pot and immediately mix with lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
  3. 3 Combine 1/4 cup sugar and fruit pectin in a small bowl. Add to nectarines in the pot; stir well. Slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Add remaining 2 ¾ cups sugar and stir to dissolve, making sure to scrape over the bottom of the pot. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. 4 Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.
  5. 5 Pack jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with the lids and tightly screw on the rings.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars.
