Angel Food Cake

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Cool Down Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 11-12 Egg Whites
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Extract(s) of choice
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
  • 1 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Cake Flour

Instructions

  1. Sift cake flour 3 times.  Set it aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325°F.  Do not grease or flour your 10 inch cake tube pan.
  3. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites, extract and salt.
  4. When whites get foamy/frothy add cream of tartar.  Whisk until egg whites are stiff and glossy, not dry.
  5. Sprinkle sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, gently folding it into the whisked whites.
  6. Sprinkle flour, 1/2 cup at a time, gently folding it into the whisked whites.
  7. Spoon the batter into the pan, and bake the cake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it's golden brown and the top springs back when lightly touched.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven, and set it upside down with a bottle through its center cone to keep its top from flattening on the counter. Let the cake cool for 60-90 minutes.
  9. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife, and remove it from the pan.
