Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar while continuing to whip to medium peaks. Since this is a high-altitude recipe, whip them only until they form a peak that falls over. Stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Use a rubber spatula to fold in flour a fourth at a time. Spoon into a clean and dry 9 inch tube pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue baking for another 3 minutes, or until the cake begins to shrink down a bit. Invert pan over a wire rack to cool. When cool, run a thin spatula or knife around the outer edge, and tap out firmly.

Steps:
- Let egg whites stand in bowl of a standing electric mixer (see cooks' note) at room temperature about 1 hour before making cake. (They should be about 60°F, slightly below room temperature.)
- Set oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together confectioners sugar, flour, and salt onto a sheet of wax paper using a triple sifter or fine sieve.
- Beat whites in mixer until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat at medium speed until they form soft peaks. Add granulated sugar gradually, beating, and continue beating just until whites are thickened and form soft, droopy peaks. Beat in vanilla.
- Sprinkle one fourth of sifted dry ingredients over whites and fold in with a rubber spatula gently but thoroughly. Fold in remaining dry ingredients, one third at a time.
- Gently pour batter evenly into ungreased tube pan and bake until top is light golden, cake retracts a bit from pan and springs back when touched lightly, and a tester comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert pan onto neck of an empty wine bottle or a large metal funnel and cool cake completely.
- To remove cake from pan, run tip of a long, narrow knife between outer edge of cake and pan. Tilt cake pan on its side and gently tap bottom edge against counter. Rotate pan, tapping and turning a few more times, until cake appears free. Cover pan with a metal rack or cardboard round and invert, tapping pan firmly to loosen cake. Lift pan from cake. (It should come out beautifully, like a pillow taken out of a slipcover.)
- Slice cake with a serrated knife, using a sawing motion.
HIGH-ALTITUDE BUTTERMILK DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE
This recipe was given to me by my great-aunt Julee over 40 years ago and I have had to convert it from SE Oklahoma Mountain area altitude to our altitude. We live in NM between 5000 feet and 7000 feet and I bake this 3-layer cake often for my family. If making a sheet cake, I use an 11 x 15 pan for this recipe.

- Beat 1 1/4 cups butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in milk gradually. Add confectioners' sugar, 2 cups at a time, scraping sides of the bowl as needed, until frosting is smooth. Increase speed to high and beat, adding more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is fluffy and spreadable.
- Spread frosting between cake layers and smooth over top and sides of cake.

HIGH ALTITUDE CHIFFON CAKE WITH VARIATIONS
At higher altitudes, cakes are more sensitive to slight changes; therefore, it is important to carefully follow the directions given for each recipe. Be sure that measurements are exact and especially note the addition or subtraction of amounts by tablespoons from cups of flour or liquid. Always use measuring spoons or cups when definite amounts of ingredients are specified. When measuring flour and baking powder, do not pack them, but spoon lightly and level off. Always sift flour before measuring. Brown sugar and shortening should be packed into the cup or spoon to give accurate measurements. Shortening should be at room temperature for best results. This recipe is mainly for 5000 to 7500 feet in elevation. For higher elevations, make these adjustments: Plain Chiffon: Reduce baking powder to l tsp. Orange Chiffon: Reduce baking powder to 3/4 tsp. Lemon and Pineapple Chiffons: Same as 5,000 ft. From the University of New Mexico, Agriculture Department

10 HIGH-ALTITUDE BAKING RECIPES THAT REALLY WORK
From allrecipes.com
Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
- Basic High-Altitude Bread. This homemade yeast bread dough can be used for sandwich loaves, naan, or even as a pizza crust. A little extra fat — coconut oil i this case — keeps the dough nice and soft even after baking.
- High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies. With slightly less flour than a typical brownie recipe, these fudgy treats have a higher percentage of wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, melted butter) so they can stand up to that increased evaporation speed and stay mouthwateringly moist.
- Ultimate High Altitude Chocolate Chip Cookies. "I've lived in Colorado 20 years and this is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe that still tastes like Toll House but works at our altitude," says Allrecipe home baker Brycie S. A higher egg-to-butter ratio and less baking soda does the trick.
- High-Altitude Buttermilk Devil's Food Cake. Ideal for an 11-inch by 15-inch sheet cake or three-layer tower, this luxurious buttermilk cocoa cake calls for a higher-than-usual wet-to-dry ratio to account for the extra evaporation that occurs during baking.
- High Altitude Meringue for Pie. Your pretty pies deserve better than a weepy, flat meringue recipe. Enter, this foolproof cornstarch-fortified egg white whip that stays super-fluffy and strong at any elevation.
- High-Altitude Chocolate Cake. Melt-in-your-mouth decadent, this moist chocolate cake combines dessert and after-dinner coffee into one. (There's a full 1 ½ cups of hot coffee in the batter!)
- High Altitude Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies. Cakey and light, these healthy-ish cookies are similar in texture to muffin tops. An extra ¼ cup of flour and 1 teaspoon less baking powder are the only two adjustments needed to get these goodies ready for altitude.
- High-Altitude Challah. Yes, you can even ace braided bread at high altitudes! The key is reaching the proper yeast ratio, which you'll find while incorporating just enough flour while kneading the challah dough.
- High-Altitude Angel Food Cake. This airy angel food cake is practically cloud-like — the complete opposite of those dense and dry baked goods we mentioned earlier.
- Best High-Altitude Birthday Cake. Rich, moist, and tender even baked at 6,000 or more feet, this is the ultimate vanilla-almond cake to share at high-altitude birthday parties.
