ANGEL FOOD CAKE I

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks, and then add cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
• Sift together flour, sugar, and salt. Repeat five times.
• Gently combine the egg whites with the dry ingredients, and then pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
• Place cake pan in a cold oven. Turn the oven on; set it to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cook for about one hour, or until cake is golden brown.
• Invert cake, and allow it to cool in the pan. When thoroughly cooled, remove from pan.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE IN A SPRINGFORM PAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
• Place a medium mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill.
• Cut a round of parchment paper to the same circumference as the base of the pan, with a hole in the center that is the same circumference as the can. Line the springform with the parchment. Cover the sides of the can completely with parchment, securing with tape and making sure that the tape is covered by parchment.
• In a medium bowl, sift the flour and ½ cup (100 grams) of the sugar together.
• In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, vanilla extract, salt, and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. You will know when they've reached the soft peak stage because the whites will just barely be able to hold their shape.
• Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually add the remaining cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks. This may take up to 10-12 minutes. You will know that you are getting close to stiff peaks when the whites turn very glossy with a satin-like appearance. Lift the beater out of the bowl and check if the peak stands straight up in a point with no curling at the tip. Once it does, your ready for the next step.
• Sift the flour and sugar mixture into the egg whites, about ⅓ cup (80 ml) at a time. Using a large flexible spatula, carefully fold in the flour until there are no clumps left. Be careful not to overmix at this point, which will deflate the batter and decrease the volume of the cake.
• Add ¼ cup (60 ml) water to the can to weigh it down, so it stays steady in the springform pan.
• Carefully transfer the batter to the prepared pan, working your way around the aluminum can and smoothing the top of the batter with the flexible spatula.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cake has risen completely, nearly reached the top of the pan, and the top is evenly golden brown with a few cracks. The top of the cake should spring back when gently pressed with your fingertip. If there is any indentation left, the cake needs to bake for longer. Return to the oven and check every 5 minutes.
• Remove the springform pan from the oven. Pour out any excess water from the can, then replace can and immediately invert the pan over a wire rack. (The soda can will prop up the cake while it cools, allowing air to circulate around it.) Let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the strawberries. In a medium bowl, toss to combine the sliced strawberries with the lemon juice and sugar. Refrigerate the berries until you are ready to serve the cake.
• Remove the aluminum can from the center of the cake. Carefully run a knife along the outer edge of the pan to release the cake (it should release easily). Remove the parchment paper.
• Top the cake with whipped cream and macerated strawberries.
• Enjoy!

ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
• DO NOT GREASE PAN.
• I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
• Heat oven to 375°.
• Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
• Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
• Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
• Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
• If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
• Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
• Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
• (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
• Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
• Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
• To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
• Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
• You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
• Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
• No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
• Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).
