• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a tube pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour and 1/2 cup of sugar. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed until foamy.
4. Add the cream of tartar and salt, then increase the speed to medium and beat until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and sifted flour mixture until just combined.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
9. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack and let the cake cool completely.
10. Once cool, run a knife around the edges of the pan to release the cake.
11. Top the Angel Food Cake with mixed berries and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
