Ingredients for Angel Food Cake Homemade

How to Make Angel Food Cake Homemade

1. 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.)
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
3. 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.)
4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
5. Add the vanilla extract and fold gently until just combined.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
8. Once cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan.
9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
