Angel Food Cake...





Ingredients:



  • 1 cup sifted cake flour (if you don't have cake flour you can also use all-purpose flour, put 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in bottom of measuring cup and fill up with flour.  Sift 3 times)
  • 1-5/8 cup sugar, divided
  • 12 fresh egg whites (the fresher the eggs the better it will turn out)
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 t vanilla


Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Have a 10 by 4 tube pan ready. Do not grease.
  2. Sift flour and 3/4 cup sugar together 3 times.
  3. Separate eggs into a measuring up to make 1-1/2 cup. Let stand at room temp 15 minutes or longer.  Once the whites have came to room temperature, beat whites with cream of tarter and salt in mixing bowl or electric mixer until frothy.
  4. Beat in remaining sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons, a little at time, beating for 10 seconds after each addition using medium speed on mixer.  After the sugar is added beat on high until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold in vanilla.  Gently add flour/sugar mixture a little at a time.  Don't mix too long or too fast.  When all is added pour into tube pan.  Bake until golden brown about 25-30 minutes.  Flip over after done baking.  Let cake cool in pan. Enjoy!




I found a recipe on one of my friends blog using angel food cake.  It is very good.
