Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and almond extract until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk in three additions, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, gently tapping the pan 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. Check around 45 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before adding the whipped cream.

Notes

Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for better mixing.
For added flavor, feel free to combine different types of berries.
The cake can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator before serving.
