How to Make Whole Wheat Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down.
  8. Once cooled, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to release it from the pan.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
