Cherry Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sifted cake flour
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/3 cup maraschino cherries, drained and sliced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Sift the flour a total of three times to ensure it's well incorporated.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until they become frothy. Gradually add sugar to the mixture while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form, indicating that the mixture has reached its full potential.
3
Add vanilla and almond extract to the egg white mixture, blending them together seamlessly. This step is crucial in infusing the cake with its unique flavor profile.
4
In a separate bowl, sift the flour once more to ensure it's evenly distributed. Gradually fold the sifted flour into the egg white mixture until no streaks or visible particles remain.
5
Pour half of the batter into a clean, dry 10-inch tube pan and arrange half of the cherries on top. Repeat this process one more time to create a layered effect.
6
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, allowing it to cook evenly and thoroughly.
7
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. To prevent the cake from sinking, invert it onto a wire rack, an empty wine bottle, or a thin-necked glass bottle.
