Angel Food Cake
Makes 1 (10-inch) cake
Ingredients:
1 cup cake flour, sifted before measuring, or 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-3/4 cups egg whites (12 to 14 whites)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
Sift flour and 3/4 cup sugar together into a medium-sized bowl. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.
Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a tablespoon at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla and almond extract. Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, just until blended.
Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through batter to remove large air bubbles.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden and cracks are dry. Immediately invert pan over a funnel or bottle; let hang until completely cool. Remove cooled cake from pan.
