List of Ingredients

Fat Free Angel Food Cake

12 egg whites
(egg whites whip better at room temperature)
(also: the tiniest speck of yolk will keep the egg whites from whipping)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 c. + 1/2 c. sugar, divided
1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375. Use ungreased 10" tube pan or two 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 3/4" loaf pans.
Beat egg whites and salt until foamy, add cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Gradually beat in the extracts and 1 cup of sugar (very s l o w l y !) and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
Sift remaining 1/2 c. sugar and flour together. G e n t l y fold flour/sugar mixture into the egg whites.
Spoon the batter into pan/s. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes.
To cool, turn cake upside down. If your cake pan doesn't have legs to keep the cake suspended upside down, balance over a couple of cans. Object is to cool the cake suspended. Remove cake from pan when completely cool.
Makes 1 - 10" Cake or 2 Loaves


Make sure that your bowls and whipping utensils are grease free. Any amount of grease or oil will prevent the eggs from whipping.
