Angel Food Cake with Berries:
Ingredients
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mixed berries of your choice (I prefer fresh Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wash angel food tube pan in hot soapy water to ensure it is totally grease free. Let dry completely. Sift flour and 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar together three times; set aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat egg whites and salt on high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and almond flavoring; beat until soft peaks form. Peaks should be soft enough so they bend over slightly at the tips. Gradually add 1 cup white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites, and using flat spatula, quickly but gently fold into egg whites. Repeat using 1/4 of the flour mixture each time. Pour batter into clean tube pan. Gently cut through batter with knife to remove air pockets.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean. Invert pan onto a wire rack to cool for 1 hour.
- Cut strawberries. Mix Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries together in a bowl and lightly sugar.
- Pour over the top of each individual piece of Angel Fook Cake and serve 🙂
