ANGEL FOOD CAKE I
Homemade angel food cake is worth the work. It is moist, unlike the sweet styrofoam available in the grocery bakery. A tube pan with a removable bottom is highly recommended.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Steps:
- Set the egg whites out about one hour ahead. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the flour with the half-cup of sugar and the allspice. Sift four times. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and lemon juice together, with an electric mixer on high speed, until they hold a soft peak. Begin adding the remaining one cup of sugar, a quarter cup at a time, until all the sugar is blended.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture until it is completely incorporated. Give it a few extra folds just to be sure all the flour is really mixed in, but be careful not to overmix. Gently scoop the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Smooth the batter with the rubber scraper. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is dark golden brown.
- When baked, remove the cake from the oven and invert it, with the pan at least an inch above the counter. If your pan doesn't have metal feet, set the pan onto four inverted teaspoons or bowls. Remove the cake after it has completely cooled by slipping a fork down the side between the cake and the pan in several places. Once the cake is loosened, gently pull it out of the pan. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream and fresh berries.

Tips:
- Use fresh berries. Fresh berries will give your macerated berries the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Choose a light-tasting oil. A light-tasting oil, such as canola or grapeseed oil, will not overpower the delicate flavor of the cake.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make your cake tough. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry.
- Bake the cake at a low temperature. A low temperature will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from over-browning.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a light and fluffy frosting. A light and fluffy frosting, such as whipped cream or mascarpone frosting, will not weigh the cake down.
- Garnish the cake with fresh berries. Fresh berries will add a pop of color and flavor to your cake. Additionally, you could garnish with mint leaves, rosemary sprigs or edible flowers.
Conclusion:
Angel food cake with macerated berries and mascarpone frosting is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is light and fluffy, the berries are sweet and tart, and the frosting is rich and creamy. This cake is sure to impress your guests.
