The Best Angel Food Cake

I have a confession- I am actually not a huge fan of boxed Angel Food Cake mix. My family loves it- but the flavor is just a bit off for me.

I have always wanted to love Angel Food Cake. I mean- its basically fat free! Not saying its completely guilt free- It still has sugar obviously, but hey if you going to eat a cake, its a good one to eat!

THE BEST Angel Food Cake from scratch! This cake has the most perfect texture and flavor! Once you make this, it will become your new favorite!

I have tried several homemade versions. All of which have been slightly disappointing unfortunately. They were all dense, heavy and just not what I was looking for.

Then, the wonderful day came where I stumbled across this recipe from Food Network. It. Is. AMAZING! I have made it 3 times since discovering it and it always a smashing success.


Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 12 egg whites, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1½ teaspoons cream of tartar

Instructions

  1. Place sugar in a food processor and blend for two minutes, until sugar becomes very fine.
  2. In a small-medium bowl, combine cake flour, salt and half of the fine sugar. Sift together and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. Combine egg whites, water, vanilla and cream of tartar in a large bowl. Whisk ingredients together for 2 minutes by hand until well combined. At this point, switch to a hand mixer or pour egg white mixture into bowl of a stand mixer and using a whisk attachment. Gradually add remaining half of sugar and Beat egg white mixture until medium peaks can be formed.
  5. Sprinkle some of the flour mixture over the top of egg white mixture. Gently stir in. Repeat until all of the flour mixture has been stirred evenly in.
  6. Spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes until golden brown in color and cake is cooked through.
  7. Invert cake pan and cool upside down (cake remaining in pan) until completely cooled.
