Ingredients for Angie S Angel Food Cake

  • Cake Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • Warm Water
  • Salt
  • Cream Of Tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Almond Extract

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).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
