How to Make Angie's Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; dust with powdered sugar and tap out excess.
  2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff and glossy.
  3. Gently fold in the sifted flour and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down. This prevents the cake from collapsing.
  6. Once completely cool, gently remove the cake from the pan and dust with powdered sugar (optional).
