How to Make Mock Angel Food Cake

  1. Whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a sifter placed over a large bowl. Sift the mixture at least 3 times for a light and airy batter.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup milk over medium heat until just boiling. Immediately remove from heat.
  3. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the sifted dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
  4. In a clean, grease-free medium bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Make sure no streaks of egg white remain.
  6. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food tube pan.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
  8. Invert the pan immediately onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the cake from collapsing.
  9. Once completely cool, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to release the cake.
