Ingredients for Angel Food Cake Malakh Ensvarg Lekekh

  • Cake Flour
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 12 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Salt
  • Vanilla Extract

How to Make Angel Food Cake Malakh Ensvarg Lekekh

  1. Sift together 1 1/2 cups cake flour and 3/4 cup granulated sugar three or four times. Set aside.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in the sifted flour mixture in four additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined.
  5. Carefully pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
  6. Run a knife through the batter to release any large air bubbles.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
  9. Once cool, run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Gently remove the cake from the pan.

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.
