SCRUMPTIOUS CRANBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Clean and dry tube or bundt pan (trace amounts of oil may cause whipped egg whites to deflate).
• Stir together flour and 3/4 cup sugar, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whip egg whites with vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt until medium stiff peaks form.
• Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Batter will fill mixer's bowl and appear very shiny (see note in step 7 also).
• Carefully fold in flour mixture, 1/3 of it at a time.
• Carefully fold in cranberries and orange zest (batter should be very thick - when I made it it was thick enough to keep the cranberries in suspension and they did not sink to the bottom during baking - see photos).
• Pour batter evenly into pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes, or until cake is light golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
• Invert pan over the top of a thin necked bottle and allow to cool completely (this prevents decompression while it is cooling).
• Loosen cake by running a knife around the edges and center of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate.

MINI-PAN ANGEL FOOD CAKE

• Add the vanilla and almond extracts, gradually add the sugar beating till mix is stiff. Sift flour over batter and gently fold it inches
• Fill each ungreased mini-pan to 2/3 full. Bake 20 minutes or until crust looks deep golden brown and cracks feel dry. Do not underbake!
• Immediately invert pan onto two glass bottles, letting cakes cool completely before removing from pan. Loosen sides with nylon or plastic spatulas to prevent scratching.
• Top with chocolate frosting or whipped cream as desired. Add sliced fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or kiwi!

ANGEL FOOD CAKE--DELUXE

Steps:

• .Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Stir together cake flour and confectioner's sugar; set aside.
• In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy.
• Add the granular sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating at high speed until the meringue holds stiff peaks. (This takes up to 10 minutes.).
• Gently fold in the extracts by hand.
• Sprinkle the flour-confectioner's sugar mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over the meringue, folding it in gently just until flour-sugar mixture disappears. DO NOT OVER-MIX OR CAKE WILL BECOME TOUGH!
• Push batter into ungreased tube pan, turning it several times to fill pan evenly. Gently cut through the batter with a knife to remove air bubbles.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
• Remove from oven and immediately invert the tube over weighted glass bottle; let hang upside down until cake is completely cool (about 2 hours.).
• To remove cooled cake from tube pan, loosen first by moving table knife up and down against side of pan. Next, turn the pan over and hit one side; the cake will slip out onto the platter.
