Angel Food Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup egg whites (8-10 eggs)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract



Directions

Sift flour and 1/2 cup sugar twice. Beat egg whites & salt at room temperature until foamy. Sift in cream of tartar and continue beating until whites stand in peaks.

Sprinkle remaining sugar over egg whites, 4 tbsps at a time and beat thoroughly after each addition. Beat in flavouring. Sift flour over mixture in four separate lots, folding in lightly after each addition.

Turn mixture into an UNGREASED 10 inch tube pan. Cut through batter with knife, level it and bake at 375F for roughly 35 mins.

When cake is finished, it springs back when you press lightly down on top with your fingers. When finished, remove from oven and invert cake pan over a triangle of 3 mugs. When cool, run knife around edges and ease out.

TOPPING: Cool whip and/or strawberry or other fruit preserves!
