Applesauce Spice Angel Food Cake
Makes 1 (10-inch) cake; 10 servings.

1 cup cake flour
1-1/4 cups superfine sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh-grated nutmeg
1-1/2 cups egg whites, room temperature
1-1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup applesauce

Preheat the oven to 350 deg F. Sift the cake flour, half the sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together three times. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer (or use a hand mixer) set at medium speed, beat the egg whites until they are foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat the whites until they stand in soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar
and beat until the whites stand in stiff peaks. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Fold in the flour mixture in thirds, making sure each addition is thoroughly incorporated. Fold in the applesauce.

Pour batter into an ungreased angel food pan or 10-inch tube pan. Bake 40 minutes or until cake is puffy and golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and cool the cake upside down on a cake rack to cool completely. If using a tube pan, invert the cake onto the neck of a glass bottle. When cool, loosen the cake edge with the tip of a sharp knife and unmold. Invert right side up.
