The Best Angel Food Cake
Report
This Angel Food Cake is indeed divinely delicious. It is 200% better than any store-bought version, and easy to make at home. You will need a 2-piece angel food cake pan for best results. I bought my pan specifically for this cake, and I'll be using it again and again.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Sift cake flour and 3/4 cup sugar into a bowl and set aside.
- Using stand mixer or electric hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until it forms soft peaks. Add the other 3/4 cup sugar slowly, and then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
- Beating on LOW, add in flour mixture and both extracts slowly, stopping as soon as batter is incorporated. Do not over-mix. Using rubber spatula, fold in the sides and bottoms of bowl, to fully incorporate.
- Spoon batter into un-greased angel food cake pan. Do NOT grease the 2-piece angel food cake pan. Gently shake to even out batter.
- Bake 30-35 min, or until the top springs back with a gentle touch, and top is golden.
- Invert pan upside down, to cool completely. Run a thin knife around pan sides, and remove bottom from the sides. Gently cut bottom away from pan.

Notes
- It's important that not even a little egg yolk gets mixed in with the egg whites.
- Soft peaks: when you turn gently pick whisk up from the mixture and turn it upside down, the peaks are soft and gently bend over at the tips
- Stiff peaks: when you turn whisk upside down, the peaks hold up strong and pointy, without bending at tips.
