ANGEL FOOD CAKE--DELUXE
Every year for my birthday, my Gran would ask me "What kind of cake would you like me to bake you?", even though she knew what the answer would be: "ANGEL FOOD CAKE, PLEASE!!!!" You'll never buy angel food cake again, once you use this recipe. Rather than granular sugar for the entire recipe, confectioner's sugar is used. The cornstarch in the powdered sugar stabilizes the whites, making for a much lighter and dreamy angel food cake. Light as a feather, creamy-tasting, and NOT rubbery like store-bought versions, this is my "go-to" cake recipe for ALL special occasions. :)

Steps:
- .Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Stir together cake flour and confectioner's sugar; set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy.
- Add the granular sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating at high speed until the meringue holds stiff peaks. (This takes up to 10 minutes.).
- Gently fold in the extracts by hand.
- Sprinkle the flour-confectioner's sugar mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over the meringue, folding it in gently just until flour-sugar mixture disappears. DO NOT OVER-MIX OR CAKE WILL BECOME TOUGH!
- Push batter into ungreased tube pan, turning it several times to fill pan evenly. Gently cut through the batter with a knife to remove air bubbles.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
- Remove from oven and immediately invert the tube over weighted glass bottle; let hang upside down until cake is completely cool (about 2 hours.).
- To remove cooled cake from tube pan, loosen first by moving table knife up and down against side of pan. Next, turn the pan over and hit one side; the cake will slip out onto the platter.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a 10 x 4 inch ungreased tube pan. Sift flour and first amount of sugar together to blend. Measure egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt into large mixing bowl. Beat until foamy. Gradually add second amount of sugar. Continue beating until meringue holds stiff peaks. Fold in gently, only until the flour- sugar mixture disappears. Push batter into tube pan. Gently cut through batter. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Invert on funnel. Let hang until cold.
Tips:
- Use the right pan: Angel food cake is traditionally baked in a tube pan. This type of pan allows the cake to rise evenly and prevents it from sticking. If you don't have a tube pan, you can use a Bundt pan, but be sure to grease and flour the pan thoroughly.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This is the key to making a light and fluffy angel food cake. Be sure to use a clean bowl and beaters, and beat the egg whites until they are stiff enough to hold peaks.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gently: Do not overmix the batter, or the cake will be tough. Fold in the dry ingredients gently until they are just combined.
- Bake the cake at a low temperature: Angel food cake is baked at a low temperature to prevent it from browning too quickly. This helps to keep the cake moist and tender.
- Let the cake cool upside down: This helps to prevent the cake from sinking in the center.
Conclusion:
Angel food cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture and delicate flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. By following the tips in this article, you can make a perfect angel food cake every time.
