How to Make Wonderful Angel Food Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Prepare a 10-inch ungreased angel food cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cake flour and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Sift 4-5 times for a light and airy texture.
- In a separate, clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Add 1 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1 teaspoon almond extract (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract).
- Beat on high speed until glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating on medium-high speed until incorporated.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour batter into the ungreased pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Invers the pan immediately onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely upside down before removing from the pan.
