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.

SUMMER FRUIT CAKE
Delicious way to use summer fruits. Although you can use frozen fruits, I like to use fresh summer fruit in this cake. My favorites are peaches, apricots and plums. Original recipe was printed in Bon Appetit (August, 1981).

Steps:
- To make cake: Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
- Grease and flour 9x13-inch pan.
- Combine flour-salt in bowl.
- Beat eggs-vanilla in large bowl.
- Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
- Stir in remaining ingredients (fruit-raisins).

- While cake is baking make glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients (sugar-baking soda) in large saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla.
- When cake is done, remove from oven and poke entire surface of cake with a toothpick.
- Pour glaze over hot cake slowly.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful fruits. The better the fruit, the better the cake will be. Avoid fruits that are bruised or overripe.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature so that it has time to rise and cook through without overcooking.
- Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly. Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the baking time is up.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
