How to Make Angel Food Cake Deluxe
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; dust with confectioners' sugar and set aside.
- In a large, clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Gently fold in the vanilla extract and cream of tartar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg white mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
- Once completely cool, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to release the cake.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
