How to Make Awesome Angel Food Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sift together 1 1/2 cups cake flour and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites with 1 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating at medium speed after each addition. With the last addition of sugar, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- Increase mixer speed to high and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in the flour and powdered sugar mixture in 1/4 cup increments, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack or a large inverted bottle, and let the cake cool completely upside down (at least 2 hours).
- Once completely cool, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and enjoy!
