How To Make Cherry Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1 cup egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ⅓ cup maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Ensure that your 10-inch tube pan is spotless and completely dry. Sift the flour three times and place it aside.
- In a spacious glass or metal bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites along with salt and cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuously beating until they form stiff peaks. Mix in the vanilla and almond extract. Then, gently fold the flour into the egg whites until they are fully combined and there are no streaks left. Pour half of the batter into the pan, sprinkle half of the cherries on top, then pour the remaining batter and finish with the rest of the cherries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for a duration of 50 minutes. Once finished, turn the pan upside down and let it hang until the cake has cooled.
