Brown Sugar Angel Food Cake

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10)
2 cups packed brown sugar, divided
1-1/4 cups cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons cream tartar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl, let stand at room temperature for 30
minutes. Sift 1 cup brown sugar and flour together twice; set aside. Sift
remaining sugar; set aside. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar
and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Add vanilla. Gradually add reserved sugar,
about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition; beat until stiff
glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, abut 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45
minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately
invert pan onto a wire rack; cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around
side of cake and remove to a serving plate.

Yield: 12 servings.
