ANGEL FOOD CAKE FROM SCRATCH- GANDMA'S
Not quick or easy but Grandma made these a lot. And they were so much better than the mixes or store bought. This cake literally melts in your mouth. We make 4 or 5 of these every year for our church holiday bazaar and they easily sell for $10 each. We make noodles out of the leftover egg yolks, and they are in demand,...

Steps:
- 1. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1 and 1/2 cups. Place in a mixer bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar and flour together three times. Sifting really makes a difference in this recipe. Don't skip this step. Set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites. Beat on high speed. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form.
- 2. Gently fold in flour mixture with a spatula (not the mixer), 1/4 cup at a time. Then gently spoon into an UNGREASED 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately turn pan upside down and cool completely in that position before removing cake from pan. Frost, if desired.
- 3. NOTES FOR SUCCESS: 1.) Be sure there is no grease, butter, or oil on pans, utensils, or anything used to mix and bake this cake. 2.) Fold ingredients in very gently. The structure of the cake depends on the air beaten into the egg whites. Stirring in a normal fashion will deflate eggs whites. 3.) Turning pan upside down immediately after removing it from the oven is very important. Cake will fall flat if left to cool upright. Grandma used to place the cake pan upside down on an empty pop bottle to cool. 4.) I found out the hard way... the cake must be completely cool before cutting. Otherwise you will have a pancake, not a real cake, like I did a few years back. :0
ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This angel food cake has a completely different texture than the ones made from a mix. My family enjoys it all year long, either plain or topped with berries and whipped cream. -Lucile H. Proctor, Panguitch, Utah

ANGEL FOOD CAKE I
Homemade angel food cake is worth the work. It is moist, unlike the sweet styrofoam available in the grocery bakery. A tube pan with a removable bottom is highly recommended.

GREAT GRANDMA PEARL'S ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH PEACHES AND CREAM
My great-grandmother Pearl was famous for her angel food cake. She would enter baking contests with this recipe and always took home the blue ribbon. Among her bounty of prizes? A KitchenAid stand mixer (which came in very handy for this recipe, considering she used to beat the egg whites by hand) and a new stove! Not to mention a mighty fine sash and a ribbon proclaiming her the queen of cakes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and glossy, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the egg whites to a large, wide bowl. Using a fine sieve, gradually sift the flour over the egg whites, gently folding in the flour with a spatula. Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Scrape the batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Using a table knife, slice through the cake batter several times to release any large air bubbles. Tap the cake pan once or twice on a flat surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle and let cool completely.
- To loosen the cake, run a thin-bladed knife around the side and tube of the pan. Unmold the cake and transfer to a platter. Cut the cake into wedges and drizzle with some of the reserved syrup. Serve with the sliced peaches and whipped cream.
ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE
This is a MUST if you have never tried a homemade Angel Food Cake. I never liked Angel Food Cakes until the neighbor lady invited me over for coffee shortly after I was married. That was almost 15 years ago, and my children and husband always ask for this for special occasions. Thank you Artie, for being a wonderful friend and for the recipe!

Steps:
- Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
- DO NOT GREASE PAN.
- I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
- Heat oven to 375°.
- Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
- Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
- Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
- Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
- If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
- Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
- Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
- (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
- Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
- Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
- To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
- Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
- You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
- Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
- No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
- Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).
