Angel Food Supreme - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sifted cake flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. (12) egg whites (extra large)
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 c. granulated sugar
1 1/4 c. sifted confectioners sugar

Preparation

Sift cake flour and confectioners sugar together 3 times so they are well blended and light.
In a very large bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and almond extracts together until they hold up stiff peaks but are still moist and glossy.
Beat in granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, and continue to beat until it holds stiff peaks.
Do not underbeat. Sift about 1/2 the flour, sugar mixture over top of egg whites. Fold in with a downward stroke; do not stir.
Continue until all dry mixture is folded in.
Fold in the rest of the flour mixture by fourths.
Bake in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan or long, narrow, rectangular pan and bake at 375\u00b0 for about 30 minutes or until light brown.
Invert immediately and cool cake thoroughly before removing from pan.
May be lightly iced and shredded coconut spread over.
Or serve plain with a dusting of confectioners sugar.
