Angel Food Cake

Here is another wonderful recipe from Taste of Home.  We have chickens, so I get a lot of eggs.  I use the yolks to make the French Vanilla Ice Cream on my blog.  When I do that, I end up with a lot of egg whites.  So I use them egg whites to make this wonderful and easy cake.

Angel Food Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups egg whites

1 1/2 cups sugar, divided

1 cup cake flour

1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1 1/4 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Sift 1/2 cup sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
2. Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 350°. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
3. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
4. Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
