Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure that your 10 inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate the egg whites. Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream of tartar and salt, to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, one third at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle, to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.

Steps:
- Beat egg whites by hand; add salt and beat again.
- Add tartar and beat with mixer until stiff.
- Fold in sifted flour and sugar (sifted together).
- Add almond extract, mix, and bake for 1 hour at 225 (in an Angel pan UNGREASED).
- Place upside- down to cool.
Tips:
- Use the right pan: Angel food cake is traditionally baked in a tube pan, but you can also use a Bundt pan or a loaf pan. If you're using a Bundt pan, make sure it's well-greased and floured so that the cake doesn't stick.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough. Beat them until they are stiff but not dry.
- Fold the ingredients together gently: Overmixing the batter will make the cake dense. Fold the ingredients together gently until they are just combined.
- Bake the cake at a low temperature: Angel food cake is baked at a low temperature (325 degrees Fahrenheit) for a long time (about an hour). This helps the cake to rise slowly and evenly.
- Don't open the oven door during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Wait until the cake is finished baking before you open the door.
- Let the cake cool upside down: After the cake is finished baking, let it cool upside down on a wire rack. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
Conclusion:
Angel food cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little care and attention, you can make a perfect angel food cake at home. So next time you're looking for a light and fluffy cake, give angel food cake a try.
