sunrise this morning........Beautiful!!!
I have been waiting to make my first Angel Food Cake.....for a couple of reasons....1) it requires so many eggs....and when I was paying for them, I couldn't see using a dozen eggs for one cake and 2) the 2 part pan freaked me out.....so over the last 5 days I finally had a total of 15 eggs from my girls
Angel Food Cake : Betty Crocker
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup cake flour
mix these 2 items together in a bowl and set aside
1 1/2 cups egg whites
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
mix these 2 items together....on medium speed
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp salt
add in the sugar 2 Tbsp at a time.....then add the vanilla, extract and salt and turn your mixer to high....
now the fun part....keep mixing until it turns into a meringue....it took about 12 minutes...
don't underbeat it
next step......sprinkle the flour/sugar mixture into the meringue...
1/4 cup at a time and fold it in with a spatula...
put batter into an ungreased angel food pan (2 piece tube pan)
flatten the batter and cut through the batter to release air pockets
bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until cracks feel dry and the top springs back....
flip it over immediately on a metal funnel and let cool....
after it has cooled......take the inner pan out and remove cake...
all finished...with a chocolate drizzle....turned out GREAT!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
