MILE HIGH ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH LEMON GLAZE
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Have ready an ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
- Sift flour and confectioners sugar together in medium bowl.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until foamy. Increase the speed to medium-high, add the cream of tartar and salt, and beat just until the egg whites form soft peaks. Add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition, abd beat just until the whites form stiff, glossy peaks. Add the vanilla and lemon oil and beat until will combined.
- Sift one-fourth of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold in with a whisk or a rubber spatula. Continue gently folding, one quarter at a time, until all the flour mixture has been added, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter to the pan. Run a table knife through the batter to remove any large air pockets, and smooth top with rubber spatula. Bake for 35to 40 minutes, until the top of the cake is golden brown and the cake pulls away from the side of the pan. Turn the pan upside down, and balance the elongated neck of pan legs or hang the tube upside down from the neck of a tall bottle. Let cool to room temperature.
- Turn the pan right side up. Run a knife around the outside edge of the cake and between the cake and the tube. Top the cake with a flat plate, invert it, give it a sharp downward rap to the pan to dislodge the cake, and lift off the pan. If the pan bottom is removable, slide a knife between the pan bottom and the cake to release it.
- To make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes before using. Pour it over the cake and let stand for a least 10 minutes, or until the glaze is set.
- Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the cake into wedges.
