ANGEL FOOD CAKE RECIPES Angel Food Cake recipes are all basically the same, but it's fun to experiment with different flavorings and toppings. Here's a sample recipe:
INGREDIENTS: 12 egg whites 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
**********************************
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375° F
In large bowl, using a mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar at high speed until foamy.
Add 3/4 cup of the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in soft peaks.
Beat in flavorings.
Sift together flour, remaining sugar and salt.
Sift about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture over whites and gently fold just until flour disappears.
Repeat, folding in remaining flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time.
Pour cake mixture into ungreased 10 x 3 3/4-inch Angel Food pan.
Bake until top springs back when lightly touched with finger, about 35 minutes.
Invert cake in pan on funnel or bottle neck. Let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
With narrow spatula or knife, loosen cake from pan and gently shake it onto a serving plate.
Top with fruit or frosting, if desired.
