How to Make Celebration Angel Food Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sift together 1 1/2 cups cake flour and 3/4 cup granulated sugar four times. Set aside.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar using a hand mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 1 cup granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using a rubber spatula.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg whites in three additions, gently folding in about 15 strokes after each addition.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup sprinkles (red, white, and blue for 4th of July, or your chosen colors).
- Gently spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
- Cut through the batter with a narrow spatula or knife to remove any large air pockets.
- Use a rubber spatula to smooth the top of the batter and ensure it reaches the sides of the pan.
- Bake on the lower oven rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Invert the pan immediately to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- After cooling, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges and the center tube to loosen the cake.
- Gently lift the cake out of the pan.
- Frost with a fluffy white frosting or serve with sweetened strawberries or other fresh fruit.
