Angel Food Cake Recipe

The Land - Epcot

Ingredients:

13/4 cups egg whites                                                      

13/4 cups granulated sugar                                              

11/2 teaspoons cream of tarter                                              

1/2 teaspoon salt                                                              

11/4 cups cake flour

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon lemon zest (grated from lemon rind)

Strawberry coulis (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Combine sugar and cream of tartar and add to stiffly beaten egg whites. Sift cake flour and salt and add to egg whites in thirds, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add vanilla and lemon zest, folding carefully so as not to break down batter.

Pour mixture into an ungreased angel food cake pan and bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Allow cake to cool upside-down on a bottle, so that no pressure is on the cake. Cool approximately 2 hours.

Serve with fresh berries and strawberry coulis.

Strawberry Coulis

2 cups strawberries, fresh

11/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup strawberry jam

11/2 cup water

Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pass through a large sieve. Serve with angel food cake.
