Oh my! Doesn’t that look fantastic?! Angel food cake is one of those things that I could probably eat in its entirety within just a few days. Not that I’ve done that before or anything…haha:) And those strawberries…YUM! This dessert is fantastic not just because of the ingredients, but because it fulfills multiple cravings at one time. You need something a little fruity and tangy? Check! Need a little chocolate? Check! Need some light fluffy cake? Check! Oh, just go make it already!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups egg whites
• A pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk the egg whites until they are foamy. Once foamy, add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
3. Sift together flour, sugar, and salt. Repeat five times.
4. Gently combine the egg whites with the dry ingredients by folding the dry ingredients in slowly with a spatula.
5. Pour into an ungreased 10 inch tube pan.
6. Cook for about 35-40 minutes, or until cake is golden brown.
7. Let the cake cool upside down on a cooling rack. When the cake is cooled, remove it from the pan.
8. Enjoy!

You could also go buy a box of angel food cake mix or even a pre-made one in the bakery section of your grocery store. Whichever way you choose to make it, let me know how it turns out!
