Homemade Angel Food Cake Recipe

1 cup
1 1/2 cups
1/4 tsp
1 1/4 cups
1 1/4 tsp
1 tsp
Sifted Cake Flour ( i dont have a sifter, i just scoop it out)
White Sugar
Salt
Egg Whites
Cream of Tartar
Vanilla extract

Oven Temp ~ 350° Cake Baking Time ~ 1 Hour (mine took 20ish minutes)

Pan Type ~ 10 inch tube pan (i used x5 mini pans)

Do not preheat oven!

Sift flour once (i fluff with a fork)

add salt,

add 1/2 cup of sugar (i didn't pay attention & added all of it)

sift 4 times (again, fluffed with a fork)

Set aside.

Beat egg whites, when foamy add cream of tartar,
continue beating until egg white are stiff enough to hold in peaks, ( but not dry ).
Add remaining sugar 2 Tablespoons at a time until sugar is just blended (i skipped this since i added it all in the start)

Fold in vanilla.

Sift about 1/4 cup flour mix over the mixture and fold in lightly, repeat until all is used (i forked the flour in 1/4 a cup or so at a time)

Turn into ungreased pan,

cut gently through batter with knife to remove any bubbles from batter (skipped this)

Place cake in cold oven.
Bake at suggested temperature and time

(my x5 small pans took 20ish minutes, i removed them when then were golden on top)

Remove from oven and invert until cake is completely cooled.
Remove from pan and decorate as desired.

I also made homemade whipped cream

HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM

1/2 pt. whipping cream
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Whip cream with mixer. Be careful not to overbeat or else will get too thick like butter. When it begins to thicken, add sugar and vanilla; stir. Refrigerate.

topped it with blueberries.
