YELLOW ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Very old recipe from Darlene Kossmma. Made when they made angel food cakes I'm sure. This looks to be a very light cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 egg yolks
1/2 cup cold water
salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Beat water and egg yolks and salt for 15 minutes
  • Fold in sugar and lemon extract
  • Sift dry ingredients together 5 times
  • Fold into egg mixture
  • Bake as for angel food cake (I'm guessing 325°F for 30 minutes).

Tips:

  • Proper Ingredient Measurement: For precise baking results, use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients like flour, sugar, and butter. Measuring cups can vary in accuracy, leading to inconsistent outcomes.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Before starting, ensure your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature. This allows them to blend smoothly, resulting in a more uniform and well-textured cake.
  • Creaming Method: When creaming butter and sugar together, do not rush the process. Cream them until light and fluffy, incorporating plenty of air. This step is crucial for creating a tender and airy cake.
  • Folding Egg Whites: When folding egg whites into the batter, use a gentle hand and a spatula. Over-mixing can deflate the egg whites, resulting in a dense cake.
  • Baking Temperature: Pay close attention to the oven temperature. A slightly lower temperature (325°F or 163°C) for a longer baking time is preferable to a higher temperature for a shorter time. This helps prevent the cake from browning too quickly while ensuring it cooks evenly throughout.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a commitment to using quality ingredients, you can create a stunning and delicious yellow angel cake that will impress your friends and family. The delicate crumb, light texture, and sweet flavor of this classic cake make it a timeless favorite. Whether enjoyed as a simple dessert or adorned with frosting and decorations, the yellow angel cake is a versatile and delightful treat that is sure to bring joy to any occasion.
