Angel Food Cake


Ingredients
    1 cup sifted cake flour
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    1 cup egg whites (8 to 10 eggs)
    1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
    1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring


Recipe

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    2. Sift flour and 1/4 cup sugar together 4 times. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until frothy throughout.
    3. Add remaining sugar in small amounts and beat after each addition, preferably with a rotary beater. Egg whites should have a fine, even texture and be stiff enough to hold a peak but not dry.
    4. Add flavorings. Sift 1/4 cup of flour at a time over mixture and fold in lightly until all of the flour has been incorporated.
    5. Pour into large ungreased tube pan; cut through batter with spatula to remove large air bubbles.
    6. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.
    7. After baking invert the pan while the cake is cooling to prevent the cake from falling in on itself.
    8. You can either frost the cake or serve with a warm fruit sauce.
9 serve and enjoy the taste
