Giselle'S Angel Food Cake
- 1 1/3 cups superfine sugar, divided
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 10 large egg whites (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- Dash of salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
- Seasonal berries (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Sift together 1/3 cup sugar and flour; set flour mixture aside.
- Beat egg whites at medium speed of a mixer in a large bowl until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt; beat until soft peaks form. Add 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time; fold in. Fold in vanilla, lemon juice, and almond extract.
- Spoon cake batter evenly into a 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break large air pockets by cutting through cake batter with a knife. Bake at 350u0b0 for 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan, and cool cake for 40 minutes. Loosen cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert cake onto a serving plate, and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
