Steps:
- Start by prepping a 23-cm/9-inch angel food cake pan (tube pan). Make sure you're using a pan with a removable bottom.
- Wash both the cake pan and a large bowl by hand, using dish soap. Rinse with hot water and dry with a clean tea towel. This step ensures that there are no traces of fat in the pan or bowl. Don't grease the pan!
- Preheat your oven to 175°C/350°F (standard oven setting).
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, 100g of granulated sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Sift and set aside.
- In the large bowl you just cleaned, combine the egg whites with the pinch of salt. Using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, mix until foamy. Mix in the lemon juice and start to gradually add the 200g of sugar. Beat until the meringue can hold soft peaks (bird's beak stage). Add the vanilla and mix briefly until incorporated.
- Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold one third of the flour mixture into the meringue until just incorporated. Repeat with the remaining two third of flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix; once all of the flour mixture is incorporated, stop folding. It's okay if there are still a few lumps in the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the cake pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Gently shake the pan to remove any large air bubbles (don't rap the pan on the counter). Use a tissue or some paper towel to wipe the sides of the pan clean; this ensures the cake rises evenly.
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done, remove from the oven and immediately invert the cake pan onto three water glasses (so that the edge of the cake pan is resting on top of the glasses). Allow to cool to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a double boiler (or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water) combine the raspberries with the sugar. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the raspberries have softened.
- Take off the heat and, using a stick blender, blitz to a puree. Pass the puree through a fine-meshed strainer to get rid of the raspberry seeds.
- Once the cake has cooled, use a small, sharp knife to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Remove the sides of the pan, then use the knife to cut underneath the cake and loosen the cake from the bottom of the pan.
- Place the cake upside down on a serving plate, drizzle with the raspberry sauce and decorate with the mixed berries. Serve immediately, with or without whipped cream.

Steps:
- For the Angel Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Sift the flour twice with 1/2 cup of the sugar.
- With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form when the mixer is removed from the batter.
- Add half of the remaining sugar and beat for 1 minute. Add the remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Fold the flour and sugar mixture into the egg whites, 1/4 cup at a time, just until incorporated.
- Put the batter in an ungreased 10" tube pan and bake until the cake is light golden brown and springy to the touch, about 1 hour. Invert the pan and let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan.
- For the Summer Fruit Salad:
- Mix fruit in a bowl.
- Sprinkle with the orange juice.
- For the Finest Raspberry Dessert Sauce:
- Puree the berries in a blender with the lemon juice. Blend in the sugar by the tablespoonful, tasting after each addition, until the desired degree of sweetness is reached.
- Strain through a fine strainer, pressing with a rubber spatula to release the juices.
- Put it all together:
- Place a slice of angel cake on each plate. (Store the leftover cake in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.)
- With a slotted spoon, place a portion of the Summer Fruit Salad on a corner of the cake slice and let it spill over the side.
- Drizzle the raspberry sauce around the fruit salad.

Steps:
- Mix frozen strawberries that have been defrosted with fresh berries. Cut cake into thick slices. Top sliced cake with juicy berry mixture and whipped cream.
LEMON-VANILLA ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH RASPBERRY-BLUEBERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- For the raspberry sauce, mix 1 cup of the raspberries, the preserves, water, and the sugar in a medium-size heavy saucepan (not uncoated aluminum.) Bring to a boil over moderately high heat, mashing the raspberries with a wooden spoon. Boil 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine strainer suspended over a bowl, pressing down on raspberries to release the juices. Discard the seeds. Stir the blueberries and the remaining 1 cup raspberries into the hot raspberry syrup. Cover and let stand until cool. Refrigerate until ready to use. Yield: 2 cups
- For the cake, check that one rack is in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees. Pour the egg whites into the bowl in which you will be making the batter. If the pan has a removable bottom, do nothing to it. If it does not, lightly butter the bottom. Line the bottom with waxed paper or parchment paper cut to fit, and lightly butter the paper. Thoroughly mix the flour and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar or 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl. Have all the ingredients and tools at hand. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until frothy and well broken up. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to medium-high. Beat until the whites lose their yellow cast, greatly increase in volume, and start to turn white. With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup sugar over the whites. Beat until the whites become very thick, very glossy, and white, and the beaters leave a deep trail. Depending on the mixer, this need take only about 3 minutes total. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla, just enough to mix. Reduce the speed to the lowest possible. Quickly sprinkle the flour sugar-mixture over the whites. As soon as it is all added, but not completely mixed in, stop the machine and remove the bowl. With a rubber spatula or a large metal spoon, complete mixing in the flour by folding or gently stirring. Stop just as soon as the flour seems blended in. With a rubber spatula, scrape the batter (9 cups) into the pan and spread evenly. Inscribe a circle deep in the batter to release any large air bubbles. Bake until no moist patches remain in the surface cracks, the cake springs back when touched, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes for a 10 by 3-inch pan, 1 hour for a tube pan. Turn the pan upside down on a wire rack. Let cool completely. Loosen the edges (and tube) with a knife. Turn out the cake, loosen and remove the pan bottom, or peel off the paper. Store airtight 1 day at room temperature before serving or freezing. When serving, top cake with sauce and confectioners' sugar, if you wish.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: The fresher the fruit, the better your salad will taste. Avoid fruit that is bruised or has brown spots.
- Choose a variety of colors and textures: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include berries, stone fruits, citrus fruits, and melon.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make your salad soggy and bland.
- Serve the salad chilled: This will help the flavors of the fruit to really shine through.
- Enjoy the salad immediately: Fruit salad is best eaten fresh. The longer it sits, the more the fruit will break down and the salad will become watery.
