Steps:
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle position and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a food processor or blender, pulse the sugar until fine and powdery. Remove 1 cup and set aside to use in step 3; keep the rest inside the food processor. Add the cake flour and salt to the food processor. Pulse 5-10 times until sugar/flour/salt mixture is aerated and light.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium-low until foamy, about 1 minute. Switch to medium-high and slowly add the 1 cup of sugar you set aside. Whip until soft peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. See photo and video above for a visual. Add the vanilla extract, then beat just until incorporated.
- In 3 additions, slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg white mixture using a fine mesh strainer, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. To avoid deflating or a dense cake, don't add the flour mixture all at once. Sift and very slowly fold in several additions. This is important! Pour and spread batter into an ungreased 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Shimmy the pan on the counter to smooth down the surface.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking. The cake will rise up very tall while baking. Remove from the oven, then cool the cake completely upside-down set on a wire rack, about 3 hours. (Upside-down so the bottom of the tube pan is right-side up, see photo and video above.) Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap the pan on the counter until the cake releases.
- If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice the cake with a sharp serrated knife. Regular knives can easily squish the cake. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
BEST ANGEL FOOD CAKE
For our daughter's wedding, a friend made this lovely, angel food cake from a recipe she's used for decades. It really is one of the best angel food cake recipes I've found. Serve slices plain or dress them up with fresh fruit. -Marilyn Niemeyer, Doon, Iowa

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Sift the remaining 1/2-cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, zest, and cranberries. Spoon the batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool by hanging the cake (in the pan) upside down around the neck of a bottle until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cake to loosen, then knock the cake out onto a plate. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan.
- Glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth.
- Pour glaze over the top of the cake and spread with a spatula, letting it trickle down the sides. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Cut with a serrated knife, using a sawing motion.

NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- First, let the strawberries and Cool Whip rest on the counter. The strawberries will mix with the Jell-o better if they're not rock hard, and the Cool Whip will incorporate better if it's a little soft.
- Slice the angel food cake into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces using a serrated knife, and spread half of the angel food cake pieces on the bottom of the 9×13 inch dish. (Or a fun glass dish like a trifle bowl.)
- Bring two cups of water to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and Jell-o powder. Stir until fully combined.
- Then, add the frozen strawberries and stir, breaking up the chunks until they have melted. Fold the Cool Whip a few dollops at a time into the strawberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without deflating the dessert. Again, you can leave it a little less than uniformly combined, but you want it well-mixed.
- Spread half the mixture over the cake. Add the remaining cake, then cover with the remaining mix. Spread to ensure the cake is fully covered.
- Alternatively, you can combine all the cake and mix in a large bowl. You may prefer this method if you're serving the dessert in a trifle or glass bowl.
- Chill in the fridge four hours or overnight. If the cake feels wet or jiggles, it's not set.
- To glam it up, you can cover the chilled cake with Cool Whip, or garnish or decorate the top with sliced strawberries.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10x15-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with waxed paper, then spray the paper.
- Sift cake flour, 1/2 cup superfine sugar, and salt into a bowl. Sift the mixture two more times.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add vanilla and cream of tartar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar. Gradually sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, folding it in until just combined. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top of cake is lightly browned and springs back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.
- Remove cake and set on a wire rack. Loosen sides with a spatula, then generously sift confectioners' sugar over top. Cover cake with a clean kitchen towel and invert onto a second wire rack. Remove the pan and peel off the waxed paper. Starting at the short end, roll up the cake and towel together. Place, seam-side down, on a rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Simmer cranberries, sugar, and water in a pan over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Strain well and return to the pan.
- Whisk in cornstarch; simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Cover and chill until cake has fully cooled.
- Very gently unroll the cooled cake. Carefully spread cranberry filling over top, leaving a 1/2 border with no filling. Gently re-roll the cake and place, seam-side down, on a serving platter. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

SCRUMPTIOUS CRANBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This is the best angel food cake! I imagine it would also work well with other types of berries too - fresh, frozen or dried. Be careful when separating the eggs, if you get one drop of yolk in the whites, it won't whip properly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Clean and dry tube or bundt pan (trace amounts of oil may cause whipped egg whites to deflate).
- Stir together flour and 3/4 cup sugar, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whip egg whites with vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt until medium stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Batter will fill mixer's bowl and appear very shiny (see note in step 7 also).
- Carefully fold in flour mixture, 1/3 of it at a time.
- Carefully fold in cranberries and orange zest (batter should be very thick - when I made it it was thick enough to keep the cranberries in suspension and they did not sink to the bottom during baking - see photos).
- Pour batter evenly into pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until cake is light golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
- Invert pan over the top of a thin necked bottle and allow to cool completely (this prevents decompression while it is cooling).
- Loosen cake by running a knife around the edges and center of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate.
