Serves: 12
1. Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 375°.
2. Mix powdered sugar and flour set aside. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Beat in granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, on high speed, adding vanilla, almond extract and salt with the last addition of sugar. Continue beating until stiff and glossy. Do not underbeat.
3. Sprinkle powdered sugar–flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over egg white mixture, folding in with rubber spatula just until sugar–flour mixture disappears. Push batter into ungreased angel food cake pan (tube pan), 10 X 4 inches. Cut gently through batter with metal spatula or knife to break air pockets.
4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cracks feel dry and top springs back when touched lightly. Immediately turn pan upside down onto heatproof funnel or bottle. Let hang about 2 hours or until cake is completely cool. Loosen side of cake with knife or long metal spatula remove from pan.
5. Spread or drizzle Vanilla Glaze over top of cake.
TIP: Beat egg whites and sugar until stiff and glossy (see photo).
To fold sugar-flour mixture into beaten egg white mixture, use a rubber spatula to cut down vertically through center of egg whites, across the bottom of the bowl and up the side, turning the egg whites over. Rotate bowl one-fourth turn and repeat. Continue folding in this way just until ingredients are blended.
Use a metal spatula to cut through batter, pushing batter gently against side of pan and tube, to break large air pockets.
