ANGEL FOOD CAKE--DELUXE
Every year for my birthday, my Gran would ask me "What kind of cake would you like me to bake you?", even though she knew what the answer would be: "ANGEL FOOD CAKE, PLEASE!!!!" You'll never buy angel food cake again, once you use this recipe. Rather than granular sugar for the entire recipe, confectioner's sugar is used. The cornstarch in the powdered sugar stabilizes the whites, making for a much lighter and dreamy angel food cake. Light as a feather, creamy-tasting, and NOT rubbery like store-bought versions, this is my "go-to" cake recipe for ALL special occasions. :)

Steps:
- .Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Stir together cake flour and confectioner's sugar; set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy.
- Add the granular sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating at high speed until the meringue holds stiff peaks. (This takes up to 10 minutes.).
- Gently fold in the extracts by hand.
- Sprinkle the flour-confectioner's sugar mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over the meringue, folding it in gently just until flour-sugar mixture disappears. DO NOT OVER-MIX OR CAKE WILL BECOME TOUGH!
- Push batter into ungreased tube pan, turning it several times to fill pan evenly. Gently cut through the batter with a knife to remove air bubbles.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
- Remove from oven and immediately invert the tube over weighted glass bottle; let hang upside down until cake is completely cool (about 2 hours.).
- To remove cooled cake from tube pan, loosen first by moving table knife up and down against side of pan. Next, turn the pan over and hit one side; the cake will slip out onto the platter.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a 10 x 4 inch ungreased tube pan. Sift flour and first amount of sugar together to blend. Measure egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt into large mixing bowl. Beat until foamy. Gradually add second amount of sugar. Continue beating until meringue holds stiff peaks. Fold in gently, only until the flour- sugar mixture disappears. Push batter into tube pan. Gently cut through batter. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Invert on funnel. Let hang until cold.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start beating them. This will help them reach their full volume.
- Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing the speed as they thicken. This will help prevent them from becoming overbeaten.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites slowly, one tablespoon at a time. This will help prevent the egg whites from deflating.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites gently, using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix the batter, or it will become tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Angel food cake is a light, fluffy, and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is relatively easy to make, and with a few simple tips, you can create a perfect angel food cake every time.
