Orange Angel Food Cake: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe You’ll Love


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 55 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ cups egg whites (about 10-12 large eggs)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup cake flour
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
– ½ cup fresh orange juice
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon orange extract


Instructions

Creating your Orange Angel Food Cake is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Do not grease the angel food cake pan, as the batter needs to cling to the sides to rise properly.
2. Prepare Egg Whites: In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy.
3. Add Cream of Tartar: Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
4. Gradually Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
5. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour and salt to aerate and combine.
6. Incorporate Flavors: Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg white mixture using a spatula. Ensure you do this carefully to maintain the light texture.
7. Add Orange Elements: Fold in the freshly grated orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange extract. Mix until just incorporated.
8. Transfer Batter: Pour the batter into the ungreased angel food cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
10. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan to cool completely. This keeps the cake fluffy.
11. Release the Cake: Once cool, gently run a knife around the edges of the pan and in the center to release the cake.
12. Serve: Cut with a serrated knife for perfect slices.

Following these straightforward steps, you will create a stunning Orange Angel Food Cake that everyone will love!
