How to Make Angel Food Cake Deluxe
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) cake flour and 1/2 cup (50g) powdered sugar. Set aside.
- In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites and 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy.
- Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, on high speed. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt with the last addition of sugar.
- Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not underbeat.
- Gently fold in the flour-sugar mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- Gently cut through the batter with a spatula to remove any large air pockets.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Immediately invert the pan onto a heatproof funnel or bottle.
- Let the cake hang upside down until completely cool (at least 1-2 hours).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
