HOMEMADE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This recipe brings back such great memories! I used to make a similar cake for my grandfather each year on his birthday. I would ice it and then coat it with coconut that I had colored red, in honor of his December birth. It was his absolute favorite... and this recipe tastes just like it to me! Fond memories of a great man and a great cake. Thanks, Cindy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 dF.
- Sift cake flour and confectioners sugar together 5 times and set aside.
- In a large clean bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy.
- Add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar while beating, and continue to beat until very stiff. Add vanilla.
- Quickly fold in flour mixture, continuing to stir as to avoid lumps.
- Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan (or bundt pan).
- Bake at 350 dF for 45 minutes.
- Invert pan onto a longnecked bottle to cool completely before removing from pan (or may be inverted on a cooling rack to cool).
- Cake may be glazed, frosted or left as is to enjoy. It's good just cut and pour sweetened fruit over slices, top with fresh whipped cream and a dusting of powdered sugar.
- NOTE from me: Here's one way you can use up the "egg yolks" left over from making homemade angel food cakes...=;D https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/other-dessert/leche-flan.html?p=1
