Angel Food Cake is the best. It's Tender, Snowy White, cholesterol-free and less sweet. You can buy Betty Crocker brand (all you need to do is add water) or make from scratch. I like to buy the box of mixture and make for family or office party. Everyone loves it.
Here's the recipe if made From Scratch.
ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Tender, snowy white, and cholesterol-free鈥攏o wonder angel food cake is so popular.
Preparation Time: About 20 minutes
Bake: 375 degrees
Time: About 35 minutes
Makes 12 Servings
Ingredient:
1 cup sifted cake flour
1录 (one and one-fourth) cups granulated sugar
12 egg whites, at room temperature
陆 (half) teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1陆 (one and a half) teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
Powdered sugar and sliced fresh strawberries (optional)
Methods:
1. Preheat oven to 375掳F.
2. Sift together flour and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar; sift again and set aside.
3. In large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and continue beating until mixture holds soft peaks. Add remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition, until mixture holds stiff, glossy peaks.
4. With a rubber spatula fold in vanilla. Sprinkle in flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at time, gently folding in each addition just until blended. Turn batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom; gently smooth top. Slide spatula down outside edge of batter and run around pan to eliminate large air bubbles.
5. Bake in 375掳F oven until cake is golden and springs back when lightly pressed (about 35 minutes). Invert pan on a funnel or pop bottle to keep cake from shrinking; let cool completely. Remove from pan and place on a cake plate or platter. Dust with powdered sugar and decorate with strawberries, if desired. Slice with an angel food cake knife or serrated knife.
THE BEST CAKE I HAVE EVER MADE IS CALLED COURTNEYS CAKE. USE ONE BOX OF DEVILS FOOD CAKE MIX, ONE EGG, ONE-FOURTH CUP OF OIL, EIGHT OUNCES OF SOUR CREAM AND HALF CUP OF SUGAR. PUT IN BUNDT PAN AND BAKE 350 DEGREES FOR 45 MINUTES. SO MOIST IT DOESN'T NEED ICING, BUT IF YOU LIKE ICING, JUST USE ANY HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE OR SPRINKLE WITH POWDERED SUGAR.
