  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Sift together the cake flour and half of the sugar (½ cup) into a bowl.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip egg whites until foamy, then add cream of tartar and salt.
  • Continue beating the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add the remaining sugar.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add vanilla and strawberry puree.
  • Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in three additions.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan, smoothing the top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched.
  • Immediately invert the pan to cool. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
  • Once cool, gently run a knife around the edges and invert to release the cake.
  • Slice and serve plain or with fresh whipped cream and berries, if desired.
