Ingredients for Angel Food Cake Deluxe

How to Make Angel Food Cake Deluxe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; dust with confectioners' sugar and set aside.
  2. In a large, clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not overbeat.
  4. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and cream of tartar.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg white mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
  9. Once completely cool, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to release the cake.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!

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.
