Award winning Southern Living cake.
1. Preheat oven to 350(F) degrees. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add sugar, beating well.
2. Stir together milk and 2/3 cup water. Combine flour and next 2 ingredients; add to butter mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla and almond extract.
3. Beat egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form, and fold into batter. Spoon batter into two greased and floured 9 inch round cake pans. Bake cake for 30 minutes at 350, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes and then remove from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
