Homemade angel food cake is worth the work. It is moist, unlike the sweet Styrofoam-like cakes available in the grocery bakery. A tube pan with a removable bottom is highly recommended.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1.25 cups cake flour
  • 1.75 cups white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Mix in cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

  2. 2

    Sift together flour, sugar, and salt. Repeat five times.

  3. 3

    Gently fold flour mixture into beaten egg whites.

  4. 4

    Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.

  5. 5

    Place the pan in a cold oven. Turn the oven on and set it to 325 degrees F (165degrees C). Bake until cake is golden brown, about 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Invert the tube pan and let cake cool to room temperature before removing from the pan.

  7. 7

    Garnish with strawberries.
