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.

  • 1 1/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 Sift together flour, sugar, and salt. Repeat five times.

3 Gently combine the egg whites with the dry ingredients, and then pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
