Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter two 9-inch-round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper; butter the parchment and dust with flour, tapping out the excess. Pulse 2 cups flour, the baking powder, salt and almonds in a food processor until the nuts are finely ground into a powder, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the egg whites, milk, and vanilla and almond extracts in a medium bowl until combined.
- Beat 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour, until just combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool in the pans. (The cakes can be frozen, wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 2 weeks. Unwrap and thaw at room temperature.)
- Make the frosting: Microwave the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring, until melted; set aside. Beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 4 minutes. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate with a rubber spatula. (The frosting can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Beat with a mixer to soften just before frosting the cake.)
- Assemble the cake: Loosen the edges of the cakes with a knife, then invert 1 layer onto a platter and peel off the parchment. Spread 1 to 1 1/2 cups frosting on top. Remove the other layer from the pan, peel off the parchment and carefully place on top of the first layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of frosting (this is the "crumb coat"; it doesn't have to be perfect). Chill 15 minutes, then cover with the remaining frosting and decorate with nonpareils.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-ALMOND CAKE
I don't often eat sweets, but this cake called to me. How can you go wrong with white chocolate and almonds? This is from Woman's Day magazine, one of Nigella's recipes. Haven't made it yet and prep time is a guesstimate.

- Heat oven to 350F and grease bottom of a 9 inch springform pan, line with wax paper.
- Melt chocolate in microwave on medium power or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
- (white chocolate won't melt to a smoothness of dark. once it's lost its shape it's melted enough) Beat butter in a large bowl on high speed till creamy.

- Scrape in cooled chocolate and beat till well blended.
- Add almonds and extract and beat till combined.
- Using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed till peaks begin to form.

- Add a big dollop to cake batter and stir well then fold in remaining whites.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes or till batter starts to pull away from sides of pan.
- Check after 30 minutes since you probably need to cover it loosely with foil to stop it burning.
- Some bronzing on top is okay.
- When done, a cake tester won't come out exactly clean, but no cooking batter should be clinging to it.
- Cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes.
- Cake sinks while cooling.
