HEALTHY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Yield 16 slices

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
12 large egg whites (1 3/4 cup), at room temperature
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Sift together cake flour and 1/3 cup sugar. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until just frothy. Sprinkle the cream of tartar and salt over the froth and continue whisking until soft peaks form. Start to sprinkle in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, as the mixer continues whisking. Stop whisking when all sugar has been incorporated, is mostly dissolved, and egg whites form stiff peaks. Sift or sprinkle flour/sugar mixture over the egg whites, about 4 tablespoons at a time, and fold gently using a clean spatula. Sprinkle vanilla extract in 1/2 tsp. increments between additions of flour. Note: Use an up-from-the-bottom fold-motion. Four or five folds ought to be enough to incorporate flour addition. When all flour has been added, fold the entire batter a few more times until no dry-flour areas remain. Spoon into food cake pan. Bake for 35 minutes at 375°. Turn oven off and allow cake to continue browning for about 5 to 8 minutes. Cool, inverted, until completely cool, 2 to 3 hours.
