Gluten Free Angel Food Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, flours and potato starch together twice; set aside., Add cream of tartar, salt and vanilla to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time., Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour., Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Top with fresh fruit if desired.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks).
• In medium bowl, stir together flour blend, 3/4 cup of the sugar, the cornstarch and xanthan gum. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt on medium speed of electric mixer with wire whip attachment until foamy. Increase speed to high, and beat until egg whites have doubled in volume and thickened, about 2 minutes. Beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, on high speed, adding vanilla with the last addition of sugar, until stiff and glossy meringue forms. Do not underbeat.
• Sprinkle sugar mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over meringue, folding in just until sugar mixture disappears. (Transfer egg white mixture to very large bowl, if necessary.) Spoon into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. Gently tap pan on counter to remove large air bubbles.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until cracks feel dry and top springs back when lightly touched. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto heatproof bottle or funnel until cake is completely cool, about 2 hours. Run knife or long metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen. Turn cake out onto serving platter. Use long, serrated knife to cut cake. Serve with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Store at room temperature under a cake safe or large inverted bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Sift rice flour, powdered sugar, and xanthan gum 3 times with a sieve.
• Beat egg whites on high speed in a very large glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with high sides until foamy. When they start to get fluffy, add cream of tartar and salt. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in white sugar and vanilla.
• Dollop some egg whites into a very large, flat bowl, like a punch bowl. Sprinkle some flour mixture on top. Continue to layer egg whites with the flour mixture, then gently fold together. Spoon batter into a round, 2-part angel food cake pan.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and a knife comes out clean when inserted in the center, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for no longer than 5 minutes, then immediately flip it upside down and rest it on a wine bottle until completely cool, 1 to 2 hours.
• When cool, turn the cake over and run a knife around the edge if needed to loosen. Flip over onto a cake stand and remove from the pan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a fine sieve, sift together flour, cornstarch and 3/4 cup sugar four times into a small bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer, whisk together egg whites and warm water on medium speed until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
• In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Run a knife through the batter to release air bubbles. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until golden brown and springy to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert pan on its legs and let cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours. Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the pan to loosen. Arrange cake on a plate bottom-side up. Use a serrated knife to slice cake. Serve with berries and whipped cream. Store cake at room temperature up to 2 days in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic.
