Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 3/4 cups large egg whites (about 14), at room temperature
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lime Glaze for Classic Angel Food Cake
Freshly grated lime zest, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With a fine sieve, sift together flour and 3/4 cup of the sugar four times.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat together egg whites and water until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
  • Transfer to a large bowl. In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently.
  • Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.
  • Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the pan to release cake. Place on a plate, bottom side up; cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  • Just before serving, poke the top of the angel food cake all over with a skewer. Pour glaze over cake and garnish with lime zest.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the glaze was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
