Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups confectionery sugar -powder sugar which contains cornstarch
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cups room temperature egg whites ( 12 to 14 large )
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup superfine sugar - for beating the egg whites

Directions:

  1. Have all ingredients at room temperature and utensils and bowls clean.
  2. Sift the confectionery sugar and flour 3 to 4 times and set aside.
  3. Place the egg whites, cream of tarter ( sift it into the bowl over the whites ) and vanilla, almond and salt in a clean mixing bowl ( copper if you have it which helps keep molecules of mixture intact ).
  4. Beat whites at low speed to create a bubbly foamy mass.
  5. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until egg whites turn into soft moist peaks.
  6. Now gradually sprinkle or sift in , the superfine sugar a few tablespoons at a time increasing the speed to high until the whites hold STIFF but MOIST peaks.
  7. Fold in the flour/sugar mixture 1/4 cup at a time (sift it onto the whites ) by folding in with a large rubber spatula just until the flour just disappears.
  8. Immediately place the mixture evenly into the angel food pan ( 10 inch ungreased and lined with an ungreased cake paper liner ) and bake in the middle rack of a preheated 325 to 350 degree oven about 35 to 40 minutes or until cake springs back when gently pressed with a finger.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately invert over a bottle neck to cool.
  10. When completely cool, loosen and remove.
  11. Sift with confectionery sugar or spoon over a confectionery sugar glaze, or topping before serving.
  12. Cake freezes well.
  13. I love to garnish cake with a fresh flower in the summer for a very dramatic or romantic appeal
