Steps:
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle position and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the sugar until fine and powdery. Remove 1 cup and set aside to use in step 3; keep the rest inside the food processor. Add the cake flour and salt to the food processor. Pulse 5-10 times until sugar/flour/salt mixture is aerated and light.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium-low until foamy, about 1 minute. Switch to medium-high and slowly add the 1 cup of sugar you set aside. Whip until soft peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. See photo and video above for a visual. Add the vanilla extract, then beat just until incorporated.
- In 3 additions, slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg white mixture using a fine mesh strainer, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. To avoid deflating or a dense cake, don't add the flour mixture all at once. Sift and very slowly fold in several additions. This is important! Pour and spread batter into an ungreased 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Shimmy the pan on the counter to smooth down the surface.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking. The cake will rise up very tall while baking. Remove from the oven, then cool the cake completely upside-down set on a wire rack, about 3 hours. (Upside-down so the bottom of the tube pan is right-side up, see photo and video above.) Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap the pan on the counter until the cake releases.
- If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice the cake with a sharp serrated knife. Regular knives can easily squish the cake. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

What is Angel Food Cake?
Angel food cake is a type of sponge cake that is made with egg whites, sugar, and flour. Unlike traditional cake recipes that use butter and fat for moisture and texture, angel food cake relies on beaten egg whites to create a light and airy texture. The cake is incredibly versatile and can be served on its own or paired with a wide range of toppings, such as fresh fruits, whipped cream, or ice cream.Fresh Fruit
Fresh fruit is a common topping for angel food cake, and for good reason. The light and fluffy texture of the cake pairs perfectly with juicy and sweet fruits, adding a burst of flavor and color to the dessert. Some popular fruit choices for angel food cake include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and kiwi. The fruits can be sliced, diced, or left whole, depending on personal preference and the recipe.Lime Drizzle
The lime drizzle is what sets this angel food cake recipe apart from others. The tangy and zesty flavor of lime adds a refreshing twist to the dessert, balancing out the sweetness of the cake and the fruits. To make the lime drizzle, you will need fresh lime juice, sugar, and water. The ingredients are combined and simmered until the mixture thickens and forms a syrupy consistency. The drizzle can be poured over the top of the cake or spooned onto individual slices.How to Make Angel Food Cake with Fresh Fruit and Lime Drizzle Recipes
Making angel food cake with fresh fruit and lime drizzle recipes is relatively simple and straightforward. Here are the steps:Ingredients:
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lime zest

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they are foamy.
- Add the warm water, cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and lime zest to the egg whites and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites, until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture to the egg white mixture, a little at a time, using a set of spatulas.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and springs back when touched.
- Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the lime drizzle, combine the lime juice, water, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture until it thickens and forms a syrupy consistency, stirring occasionally.
- To serve, cut the cake into slices and top each slice with fresh fruit and a drizzle of the lime syrup.
