4. In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder three times.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup heavy whipping cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
