Steps:
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour and 3/4 cup sugar together twice; set aside. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, extracts and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Divide batter in half; tint half with red food coloring., Alternately spoon plain and pink batters into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest rack at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned and cracks feel dry. Immediately invert baking pan; cool completely., Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. REmove cake to a serving plate. For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, milk extract and food coloring if desired. Drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with crushed candies.
