How to Make Angel Food Cake Homemade
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food cake pan. (Do not grease the tube; flour will prevent sticking.)
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. (Be careful not to overbeat.)
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Add the vanilla extract and fold gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
- Once cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
