Want to make angel food cake from scratch. thx
Classic Angel Food Cake
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
12 egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure that your 10
inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate
the egg whites. Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set
aside. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream
of tartar and salt, to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining
sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture
has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually,
one third at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs
back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a
bottle, to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife
around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate. Old Magic 1
