GREAT GRANDMA PEARL'S ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH PEACHES AND CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and glossy, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the egg whites to a large, wide bowl. Using a fine sieve, gradually sift the flour over the egg whites, gently folding in the flour with a spatula. Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Scrape the batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Using a table knife, slice through the cake batter several times to release any large air bubbles. Tap the cake pan once or twice on a flat surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle and let cool completely.
• To loosen the cake, run a thin-bladed knife around the side and tube of the pan. Unmold the cake and transfer to a platter. Cut the cake into wedges and drizzle with some of the reserved syrup. Serve with the sliced peaches and whipped cream.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE FROM SCRATCH- GANDMA'S

Steps:

• 1. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1 and 1/2 cups. Place in a mixer bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar and flour together three times. Sifting really makes a difference in this recipe. Don't skip this step. Set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites. Beat on high speed. Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form.
• 2. Gently fold in flour mixture with a spatula (not the mixer), 1/4 cup at a time. Then gently spoon into an UNGREASED 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately turn pan upside down and cool completely in that position before removing cake from pan. Frost, if desired.
• 3. NOTES FOR SUCCESS: 1.) Be sure there is no grease, butter, or oil on pans, utensils, or anything used to mix and bake this cake. 2.) Fold ingredients in very gently. The structure of the cake depends on the air beaten into the egg whites. Stirring in a normal fashion will deflate eggs whites. 3.) Turning pan upside down immediately after removing it from the oven is very important. Cake will fall flat if left to cool upright. Grandma used to place the cake pan upside down on an empty pop bottle to cool. 4.) I found out the hard way... the cake must be completely cool before cutting. Otherwise you will have a pancake, not a real cake, like I did a few years back. :0
