A Taste of Spring - Strawberry Cream Angel Food Cake

Glenda's Strawberry Cream Angel Food Cake

My sister-in-law, Glenda Nations, recently made this elegant dessert and received rave reviews. I've included the angel food cake recipe to encourage you not to use a cake mix! The link, to Emeril's cake is below, but we prefer using this tried and true angel food cake recipe. Happy Easter ~ Happy Baking!

Heavenly Angel Food Cake

1 cup cake flour

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cup egg whites

1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift together flour and powdered sugar 3 times. Set aside. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt until foamy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar at a time and beat until very stiff. Fold in vanilla. Sift one-fourth of flour and powdered sugar mixture in at a time and fold gently. Pour in pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
