Simple Angel Food Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This simple angel food cake recipe is a light and fluffy cake that is sure to please. You will need: 1 ½ cups sifted cake flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 10 large egg whites (room temperature), 2 teaspoons pure vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon almond extract.
Instructions
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare your angel food cake pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and lightly dusting it with flour. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the egg whites. Beat on medium-high speed until the whites become foamy and then add the vanilla and almond extracts. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. This will take about 5 minutes.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg whites, one spoonful at a time, while beating on low speed. When all of the flour mixture has been added, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the batter is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Place the pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and turn it upside down onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
