This classic Angel Food Cake is a light, moist and fat-free sweet delight. This light and airy cake is made with only egg whites, sugar, flour, and flavorings (in this case vanilla, almond and bit of lemon zest) and is characterized by its delicate texture and fluffy height. Angel Food Cake can be served as-is, or top with a glaze, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Products Used
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour*
- 1 1/4 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from 10-12 large eggs)
- 2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated
- *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift flour and powdered sugar twice and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and salt on medium speed until medium peaks form. Add almond extract and lemon zest. Then, stop whipping. Do not whip to stiff peaks!
- Using a spatula, gently fold in flour-powdered sugar mixture.
- Spoon batter into an ungreased angel food cake or tube pan.
- Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until cake bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger. The cake will initially rise and near end of baking start to shrink slightly.
- Turn pan upside down and allow to cool.
- Run a knife around the edges of pan to loosen the cake.
- Serve as is or with sorbet, fruit, ice cream, etc.
