"Angel Food Cake"
I got this cake from my Aunt Hulda Smith. I used to think I was big stuff when a child, helping her use the wire beater -- in other words, this is a bit hard to make, but WELL WORTH THE EFFORT!!!!!!!! KZ
Use wire beater for all of cake and have eggs at room temperature.
Sift: 1 C. Cake Flour and 1 C. Confectioner Sugar 7 times
Sift: 1 C. Granulated Sugar 4 times (different bowl)
Beat: 12 large Egg Whites (large bowl).
When foamy add: 1 1/4 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/4 tsp. salt Beat until whites hold their shape -- about 7 minutes.
Add granulated sugar 1 T. at a time.
Add flour/sugar mixture 1 T. at a time.
