Angel Food Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 c. sifted cake flour
    1 3/4 c. sugar
    1 1/2 c. egg whites (about 1 doz.)
    1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1/2 tsp. almond extract
Preparation
    Preheat oven to moderate or 375\u00b0.
    Have all ingredients at room temperature.
    Sift together the flour and 3/4 cup of sugar four times.
    Place egg whites and salt in large bowl of electric mixer. Move bowl control so beater nearly touches side of bowl all during beating; move bowl control back and forth frequently.
    Beat at speed 7 to a coarse foam, about 30 seconds.
    Sprinkle cream of tartar and extract over surface of egg whites.
    Beat at speed 7 for 1 minute, until whites slightly peak and are very moist and slightly foamy.
    Beating at speed 7, add 1 cup of sugar in 2 tablespoon portions, and beat until mixture holds peaks, but tip of peak falls over, about 1 1/4 minutes.
    Stop mixer; scrape sides of bowl and beater.
    Fold at speed 1 for 1/2 minute.
    Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
    Bake about 30 minutes.
    Remove from oven, invert and allow to cool completely before removing from pan.
