Angel Food Cake

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C ). Ensure your 10-inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate the egg white. Sift together the flour and 3/4 cup of sugar, set aside

In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, one-third at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.

Bake for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.
