Gluten Free Angle food Cake Recipe
I would not invert the cake to cool as most Angel Food cake recipes say to do, as both times I did the cake just plopped out of the pan onto my counter...It was just fine leaving it top side up until it cooled and then I removed it from the pan and put inside my cake saver for storage. Make sure it is completely cool before covering.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup egg whites at room temp..( I set mine out for about 1/2 hour ahead of time)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tarter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (will be added to flour mixture)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (used when beating egg whites)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup white rice flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/4 cup potato STARCH
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Assorted fresh fruit
Directions
- Place the egg whites in a large bowl and let sit at room temperature for about 1/2 hour. Sift the 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, all flours and potato starch and sift together twice. Set aside. Be sure not to add the cream of tarter to this mixture as it will make the cake dry....Been there, done it!!!
- Now add the cream of tarter, the salt, and vanilla to the egg whites. Beat on MEDIUM speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the beaten egg whites a little at a time, beating on HIGH until stiff peaks form.
- Now add in the flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time FOLDING it in with a whisk. This gives the best results as it helps keep the air in the beaten egg whites and insures a perfect rise to the cake.
- Gently spoon the mixture into a UN-GREASED Angel Food cake pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove any large air bubbles. Bake the cake on the lowest rack level at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and appears dry.
