      1 c  All-purpose flour, divided
    1/4 ts Plus a pinch of salt,

    1/4 ts Pure almond extract
      4 lg Egg whites at room
           - temperature 30 minutes

MMMMM---------------------------TRIFLE--------------------------------
      1 c  Sour-cherry preserves
           Sherry syrup
           Vanilla custard

MMMMM----------------------PRALINE ALMONDS---------------------------
    1/3 c  Sliced almonds
    1/4 c  Confectioners sugar

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
      1 c  Chilled heavy cream
      3 tb Medium-dry Sherry
      1 tb Sugar
 
  Equipment: 2 (15" X 10") 4-sided sheet pans; a 2 1/2 to 3-quart
  glass trifle or soufflé dish
  
  Make cake layers: Preheat oven to 350øF with racks in upper and lower
  thirds. Butter sheet pans, then line bottoms with parchment paper and
  butter parchment. Dust with flour, knocking out excess.
  
  Break up almond paste with your fingers into a food processor. Pulse
  until coarsely ground, then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and 1/4
  teaspoon salt and process until very finely ground.
  
  Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in yolks, milk, and
  extracts.
  
  Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer
  at medium speed until they hold soft peaks. With mixer at low speed,
  add remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a slow stream. Beat at medium-high
  speed until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Fold one third of whites
  into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but
  thoroughly. Fold in remaining 3/4 cup flour.
  
  Divide batter between pans, spreading evenly, and rap pans against
  counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles. Bake cakes,
  switching position halfway through, until pale golden and springy to
  the touch, 16 to 18 minutes. Cool in pans until warm. Invert onto
  racks lined with parchment. Carefully peel off parchment from tops
  and cool completely.
  
  While cake layers cool, pulse preserves in cleaned food processor
  until smooth.
  
  Assemble trifle: Trim 1/2 inch from edges of 1 cake layer with a
  serrated knife to make a 14-by 9-inch rectangle, reserving trimmings;
  with short end nearest you, halve cake lengthwise. Brush top with some
  of syrup, then spread 1/4 cup preserves over each piece, leaving a
  1-inch border all around. Beginning with a short end, roll up each
  piece tightly to form a log. Repeat with remaining cake layer. (You
  will have 4 logs total.)
  
  Spoon 1 cup custard into bottom of trifle dish.
  
  Cut 1 log into 5 rounds with serrated knife, then halve each round.
  Brush generously with syrup all over. Stand half-moons, curved sides
  up, around edge of trifle dish (at bottom), arranging them snugly and
  pressing against side to help them adhere. Tear reserved trimmings
  into pieces, then dip in syrup and arrange over custard in center of
  dish.
  
  Cut and brush remaining logs in same manner, arranging slices, curved
  sides down, against side of trifle dish above first layer (there may
  be some left over).
  
  Add remaining custard. Brush any remaining cake slices with syrup and
  arrange in center over custard.
  
  Chill trifle, covered, at least 8 hours.
