Angel food cake is really angelic! Its light and fluffy texture is perfect topped with a fresh fruit sauce and whipped cream. If we're being honest it's pretty tasty plain, too! Nobody will guess it was made with fresh milled flour.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 110 grams fresh milled soft white wheat flour (approx 1 1/4 cups flour)
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from approx 12 eggs)
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Tube Pan
  • Food Processor

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Spin sugar in a food processor for about 2 minutes until it is superfine. Take 1 cup of that sugar out and set aside.
    Add the salt and flour to the remaining sugar in the food processor and process for 1 minute.
  3. In your mixing bowl add egg whites, vanilla extract and cream of tartar and whisk until foamy. Then start adding the 1 cup of sugar you set aside to the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time.
    Once you have medium to stiff peaks (time will vary with mixers or by hand) you can either fold your flour mixture in with a spatula or I add it in slowly while my KitchenAid mixer is on speed 2. Don't overmix!
  4. Spoon cake mixture carefully into an ungreased tube pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Don't open the oven to check it or you run the risk of deflating your cake.
  5. Remove from oven and cool upside down on a cooling rack for 1-2 hours before removing from the pan.
  6. Remove and top with your favorite toppings. This time we used strawberries and whipped cream.
