Ingredients
Dry Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 12 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 dash pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt, and continue beating until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining sugar while beating. Continue until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture and vanilla extract. Add a few drops of pink food coloring if desired.
Baking
- Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched and the top turns a light golden color.
- Once baked, invert the pan to cool the cake.
Serving
- Once completely cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan. Serve plain or with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a light drizzle of fruit sauce.
Notes
Ensure mixing bowls and beaters are clean. Do not skip the cream of tartar for stability. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
