Heavenly Angel Food Cake Recipe

Prep: 10 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 20 Servings

10 40 50

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about12)
1-1/4 cups 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 40-45 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. Cake may be frozen for up to 6 months. Remove cake to a serving plate. Yield: 20 servings.

Leftover: Cranberry Ribbon Loaf

What a delightful cake! I will never, ever use a box mix again: This was so superior to any other angel food cake I've ever made. Thanks for the recipe.
