- 3/4 cup potato starch
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

- Sift all-purpose flour and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in potato starch.
- Beat 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla sugar; beat until just combined. Add egg yolks and sour cream; mix well. Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract into the batter.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl using clean beaters until stiff peaks form.
