ANGEL FOOD CAKE III

Steps:

• 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.

HEALTHY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Set aside a 9-inch angel food cake pan (highly recommended!). If you do not have an angel food cake pan, a round pan with a removable bottom can be used. Note: the cake may stick to the pan using a regular round pan. Do not spray the pan, rather use a tiny amount of oil on the bottom of the pan to prevent the top from sticking.
• In a mixing bowl, add the starch, sorghum flour, and salt.
• Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, mix the egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix for 5 minutes or until soft peaks form. It should look like white clouds.
• Reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla extract until mixed. Next add the sugar and mix for another 3 minutes. The mixture should be stiff.
• Gently fold the flour and starch into the egg mixture by hand, being cautious to not deflate the eggs. Some deflating is normal. Be gentle!
• Transfer the mixture into the ungreased angel food cake pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and bounces back when tapped.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool upside down so it does not deflate. Once the cake has cooled, use an offset spatula to loosen the cake from the pan. Slice into 8 servings and serve with berries and cool whip!
