Angel cake




Angel cake

INGREDIENTS

  • 170g (1 cup)of all-purpose flour
  • 6g (1 tsp) of baking powder
  • 200g (1 cup) + 80g (⅓ cup) of sugar
  • 6g (1/2 tsp) of cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • Egg whites of 12 eggs

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.

2. In a large bowl beat together egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until foamy. Add 200g of sugar in 2-3 portions while still working the egg white mixture with a hand mixer.

3. Beat egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and give it one final whip into the whites.

4. In another bowl whisk flour with sugar. Add ⅓ of the egg whites into the flour mixture and stir carefully to make a thick but light batter.

5. Carefully incorporate ⅔ of the egg whites into the batter, adding it in portions and folding it with a spatula.

6. Pour airy batter into an ungreased bundt cake pan or angel food cake pan (should be around 20cm in diameter).

7. Bake the cake for 45 minutes. Flip it onto the serving plate while it is still hot. Let cool down. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
