Angel Food Supreme - cake flour

Method

• Sift cake flour and confectioners sugar together 3 times so they are well blended and light.
• In a very large bowl, beat egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, vanilla and almond extracts together until they hold up stiff peaks but are still moist and glossy.
• Beat in granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, and continue to beat until it holds stiff peaks.
• Do not underbeat. Sift about 1/2 the flour, sugar mixture over top of egg whites. Fold in with a downward stroke; do not stir.
• Continue until all dry mixture is folded in.
• Fold in the rest of the flour mixture by fourths.
• Bake in an ungreased 10-inch tube pan or long, narrow, rectangular pan and bake at 375° for about 30 minutes or until light brown.
• Invert immediately and cool cake thoroughly before removing from pan.
• May be lightly iced and shredded coconut spread over.
• Or serve plain with a dusting of confectioners sugar.
