Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease a 10-inch angel food cake pan.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.
• Gently fold in sifted cake flour and vanilla extract.
• Pour batter into the ungreased angel food cake pan.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Invert the pan immediately after removing from the oven and let cool completely, about 1-2 hours.
• Once cooled, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges to release the cake.
