Heavenly Angel Food Cake Recipe

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

Yield: 20 Servings

10 40 50

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 12)
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. Remove cake to a serving plate. Yield: 20 servings.

Easy to make and fun to do with my daughter. While the eggs sat for 30 mintues, she took her first solo drive to get more powdered sugar. Sticky, but finger-licking good.

people can be so rude. Why must you even post a comment like this? If you can't say something nice, just don't say it. I don't live under a rock, and I have not seen this recipe either. Keep your rude comments to yourself. Have a blessed day.
