Angel Food Cake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites (about 12 large eggs)
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make sure the oven rack is in the lowest position.
- Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup of sugar together in a bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Sift the flour mixture over the egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, and gently fold in until fully combined.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a knife to cut through the batter to remove any air pockets.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan.
- Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan and the center tube to remove the cake.
- Serve and enjoy!
