Angel Food Cakes
Usually I would be writing this post in June when the strawberries traditionally appeared in the markets. With the advent of year-round veggies and fruit I find a request for this normal, even at this time of the year. We are off to our much-looked forward to week in Charleston. One of our group has requested strawberry shortcake for dessert. This is a very easy and wonderful representation of the classic, which by the way is supposed to be a biscuit, not the usual sweet cake that we all have gotten used to.

1.75
- cup
- sugar, white, divided
- 0.25
- tsp
- salt, table
- 1
- cup
- flour, cake
- 12
- large
- egg, whites
- 0.33
- cup
- water
- 1
- tsp
- vanilla
- 1.5
- tsp
- cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor spin sugar about 2 minutes until it is superfine. Sift half of the sugar with the salt and the cake flour, setting the remaining sugar aside.
In a large bowl, use a balloon whisk to thoroughly combine egg whites, water, vanilla, and cream of tartar. After 2 minutes, switch to a hand mixer. Slowly sift the reserved sugar, beating continuously at medium speed. Once you have achieved medium peaks, sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a spatula fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.
Carefully spoon mixture into an ungreased muffin tin. Bake for 25 minutes, checking for doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall, the skewer should come out dry).
Cool at least an hour before removing from pan.
Fill with berries or fruit.
