Recipe Card of Angel Food Cake
Indulge in a timeless favorite with this airy Angel Food Cake. It’s simplicity at its finest, perfect on its own or dressed up with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruits for a delightful dessert experience.
Ingredients list
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1.5 cups white sugar, divided
- 12 egg whites
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Get your oven ready by preheating it to 375°F (190°C). Ensure your 10-inch tube pan is clean and completely dry for the fluffiest results.
- Sift together the cake flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt until medium stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks are achieved. Gently fold in the flour mixture in thirds, being careful not to overmix, then pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake until the cake resiliently springs back to the touch, approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
- Cool by inverting the pan over a bottle to prevent the cake from compressing. Once completely cool, gently run a knife around the pan edges and invert the cake onto a plate.
