Angel Food Cake Ingredients:

- 1 cup cake flour

- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

- 12 egg whites, at room temperature

- 1/4 tsp salt

- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Angel Food Cake Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.

2. Sift the cake flour and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar together into a bowl and set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar on medium speed until frothy.

4. Increase the speed to high and gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, while continuing to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.

5. Beat in the vanilla extract.

6. Using a spatula, gently fold the flour mixture into the egg white mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, until fully combined.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched.

9. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn it upside down onto a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a knife and gently remove it from the pan.

11. Serve the cake as is or with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Additional tips for Angel Food Cake:

- Angel food cake is traditionally made with a tube pan and should not be greased, as this can prevent the cake from rising properly. Instead, make sure to use an ungreased pan and gently loosen the edges of the cake with a knife once it has cooled.

- To ensure that your egg whites whip up properly, make sure that your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and free of any grease or residue. You can also let the egg whites sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before beating to ensure that they reach their full volume.

- If you don't have cake flour, you can make your own by sifting together 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.

- For added flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon or almond extract to the batter along with the vanilla extract.

- Angel food cake is best served the day it is made, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just make sure to store the cake upside down so that it doesn't compress and lose its airy texture.
