Easter Angel Food Cake
Easter Angel Food Cake is a light and fluffy dessert that is perfect for your Easter celebration. This cake is made with simple ingredients and is easy to prepare. The key to making a perfect angel food cake is to use room temperature egg whites and to beat them until stiff peaks form.
To make this delicious Easter Angel Food Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 12 egg whites, room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
For the frosting, you will need:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts, and then gently fold in the flour mixture, one-third at a time. Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, and then remove it from the pan.
To make the frosting, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
This Easter Angel Food Cake is a light and airy dessert that is perfect for your Easter celebration. The cake has a delicate vanilla and almond flavor, and the frosting is sweet and creamy. This dish is a dessert and cake, and its main ingredients are egg whites, sugar, and flour.
