Instructions
Creating your Light Funfetti Angel Food Cake can be easy if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure your angel food cake pan is ungreased.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and half of the sugar (1/2 cup). Set aside.
3. Beat Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
4. Add Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the remaining sugar (1/2 cup), one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
5. Incorporate Vanilla: Gently fold in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold in the flour mixture into the egg whites, one-third at a time, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
7. Add Sprinkles: Once the flour is fully incorporated, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the ungreased angel food cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool the Cake: Remove from the oven and immediately invert the cake pan onto a wire rack to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
11. Remove from Pan: Once cooled, gently run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate.
By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Light Funfetti Angel Food Cake that is both delicious and visually appealing!
