Angel Food Cake
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min.
YIELD: 16 servings.
This angel food cake has a completely different texture than the ones made from a mix. My family enjoys it all year long, either plain or topped with berries and whipped cream. —Lucile H. Proctor, Panguitch, Utah
Ingredients
-
1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10 large)
-
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
-
Sweetened whipped cream and mixed fresh berries, optional
Directions
-
1.
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
-
2.
Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated 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.
-
3.
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.

4.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
