Angel Food Cake

Cook Time:
45 Min

Ingredients

18
egg whites
2 tsp
cream of tartar
1 pinch
salt
1/2 c
sugar
1 c
cake flour
1 1/2 c
confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tsp
pure vanilla
1/8 tsp
almond extract


Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350
2 Sift cake flour and confectioners sugar together 5 times and set aside.
3 In a large clean bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy.
4 Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
5 Gradually add sugar while beating, and continue to beat until very stiff. Add Vanilla and almond extract.
6 Quickly fold in flour mixture, continuing to stir as to avoid lumps.
7 Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan
8 Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
9 Invert pan onto a longnecked bottle to cool completely before removing from pan (or may be inverted on a cooling rack to cool).
