Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar while continuing to whip to medium peaks. Since this is a high-altitude recipe, whip them only until they form a peak that falls over. Stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Use a rubber spatula to fold in flour a fourth at a time. Spoon into a clean and dry 9 inch tube pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, then increase the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Continue baking for another 3 minutes, or until the cake begins to shrink down a bit. Invert pan over a wire rack to cool. When cool, run a thin spatula or knife around the outer edge, and tap out firmly.

HIGH ALTITUDE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH VARIATIONS
This unique variation of plain angel food is nice for an autumn dessert when served with whipped cream. A topping of whipped cream mixed with crushed peanut brittle, crushed peppermint candy, or fresh or frozen fruit is delicious on slices of angel food cake. Posted in response to a recipe request.

10 HIGH-ALTITUDE BAKING RECIPES THAT REALLY WORK
From allrecipes.com
- Basic High-Altitude Bread. This homemade yeast bread dough can be used for sandwich loaves, naan, or even as a pizza crust. A little extra fat — coconut oil i this case — keeps the dough nice and soft even after baking.
- High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies. With slightly less flour than a typical brownie recipe, these fudgy treats have a higher percentage of wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, melted butter) so they can stand up to that increased evaporation speed and stay mouthwateringly moist.
- Ultimate High Altitude Chocolate Chip Cookies. "I've lived in Colorado 20 years and this is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe that still tastes like Toll House but works at our altitude," says Allrecipe home baker Brycie S. A higher egg-to-butter ratio and less baking soda does the trick.
- High-Altitude Buttermilk Devil's Food Cake. Ideal for an 11-inch by 15-inch sheet cake or three-layer tower, this luxurious buttermilk cocoa cake calls for a higher-than-usual wet-to-dry ratio to account for the extra evaporation that occurs during baking.
- High Altitude Meringue for Pie. Your pretty pies deserve better than a weepy, flat meringue recipe. Enter, this foolproof cornstarch-fortified egg white whip that stays super-fluffy and strong at any elevation.
