This angel food cake has a completely different texture than the ones made from a mix. A good time to make it is in spring or early summer, when the chickens are laying and there are plenty of eggs. But my family enjoys it anytime, just plain or topped with berries and whipped cream.

Angel Food Cake Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

20 35 55

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Yield: 16 servings.

This was the first time I made an angel food cake. Turned out great. Such a great recipe. So easy. It is a keeper

My family LOVED this and they are very picky. I try to make healthier foods and they want junk. This is a good compromise.

This was wonderful. I made it plain one time and I added 1.5 tsp. cinamon to the next recipe. This was very, very good. I made my own caramel apple glaze and put homemade whip cream as a topper. Everyone absolutely loved it and they want it again! Last recipe I used tasted very eggy, this one was anything but! Absolutely love it!

Very yummy Angel Food Cake recipe. This recipe has about a 1/2 cup less sugar than other recipes, but it has a perfect amount of sweetness. Especially after adding sweetened fruit and whipping cream or ice cream.
