Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites (10 to 12 large)
- 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 cup sifted cake flour or sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Directions
1.
In a very large mixing bowl allow egg whites to
stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar
and flour together 3 times; set aside.
2.
Add cream of tartar and vanilla to egg whites. Beat
with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips
curl). Gradually add granulated sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time,
beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight) .
3.
Sift about one-fourth of the flour mixture over
beaten egg whites; fold in gently. (If bowl is too full, transfer to a
larger bowl.) Repeat, folding in remaining flour mixture by fourths.
Pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through batter to
remove any large air pockets.
4.
Bake on the lowest rack in a 350 degree F oven for
40 to 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched.
Immediately invert cake (leave in pan); cool thoroughly. Loosen sides of
cake from pan; remove cake. Makes 12 servings.
