Quick Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
  • 4 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 4 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 16 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Sift the cake flour, granulated sugar, and salt three times to incorporate air and ensure even distribution. Then, gradually add boiling water to the mixture, stirring constantly.
3
Allow the mixture to cool and settle before proceeding. This step is crucial in preventing any sudden temperature changes.
4
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they become frothy. Add cream of tartar, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until stiff peaks form. Be patient, as this step requires time and effort.
5
Fold the egg white mixture into the sifted flour mixture, taking care not to overmix. This delicate balance is essential in creating a light and airy texture.
6
Pour the batter into an ungreased 12x18-inch baking pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed and smooth.
7
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
8
Once the cake is removed from the oven, let it cool completely. To speed up the process, invert the cake in its pan and place a tea towel underneath to absorb any excess steam.
9
Finally, frost the cake as desired once it has cooled completely. The waiting game is over, and your masterpiece is ready to be devoured.
