Easy Angel Food Cake
Servings 12
Ingredients
- 12 egg whites room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 3/4 cups white sugar divided
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups flour
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar at medium speed until foamy.
- Slowly beat in 1 cup of sugar. Keep whipping until soft peaks form.
- Whip in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, the 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp flour, and salt.
- Sift the sugar and flour mixture into the egg white mixture in thirds, folding between each addition.
- Spoon the mixture into a 10" tube pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently once or twice on the counter to settle the batter.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Remove cake pan from oven and let cool upside down. I balance mine on an upside down coffee mug so that the cake can hang.
- Once cool, remove from pan. Dust with icing sugar and serve with fresh fruits and whipped cream!
