angel food cake

Overview

Simple and pure angel food cake. Angel cake is very different from other cakes. Its cotton-like texture and color are made from hard foamed egg whites, white sugar and white flour. It does not contain butter or oil, so the egg white foam can better support the cake. It would be better if you use a special angel cake baking set

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Beat the egg whites with a whisk until they resemble fish-eye foam, then add salt and a few drops of white vinegar (or add a little bit of cream of tartar)

   

2. 2 Add caster sugar in three batches and beat until wet peaks form.

   

3. 3 Sift the low-gluten flour and cornstarch together and pour into the egg whites.

   

4. 4 Use a rubber spatula to gently stir in the flour and egg whites. When stirring, use a rubber spatula to stir from the bottom up. Do not stir in circles to prevent the flour from forming gluten.

   

5. 5 Pour the cake batter into the mold, smooth it out, hold the mold with your hands and shake it twice to knock out any big air bubbles. Then put it in the preheated oven at 190 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes.

   

6. 6 Let cool, open the mold, cut into pieces, and finally eat
