This cake is from the famous Rose's Resaturant and Bakery in Portland Or. the woman who opened Rose's came to America from Russia as a young woman and used to bake in her very own kitchen!!! then transport the baked goods to her small Bakery every morning! she eventually expanded to a few resturants/Bakery. Sadly I think she passed, and the Restaurants eventually closed, back in the 80's she made 2 cookbooks..this is the description of the cake: FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. THE RESULT WILL DELIGHT YOU. THE RECIPE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF THIS BOOK!!! also there is a chocolate version with a marshmallow icing that I will also post seperately that we serve every birthday. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour |
2 cups extra finely granulated sugar |
2 cups egg whites (about 14 eggs) |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400. Sift flour, add 3/4 c of sugar, and sift the mixture 5 times, Beat egg whites until stiff. Add cream of tartar and salt, continue beating, and very gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, beat in the remaining sugar. when batter looks shiny and stiff, very gradually fold in the sifted flour mixture and vanilla.
2. Pour batter into a 9 angel food cake pan and bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat again to 300 and bake until cake is done, about 1 hour, total. Remove from oven, turn upside down to cool. when cold, Remove from pan and frost or leave plain.
