Prep Time Cook Time Serves Serving Size Ok to make ahead
20 minutes 40 minutes 8 1/8 Steps 1 - 10
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups egg whites from 10-11 large eggs
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup GF Jules gluten-free baking flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons superfine baking
sugar (or granulated sugar that has been
pulsed in the food processor a few times)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
(1) Prepare: Separate the egg whites and
allow them to sit at room temperature for
about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350
degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor,
pulse together the flour, cornstarch, and
powdered sugar together until well
blended, about 30 seconds. Set aside in a
bowl.
Put the granulated sugar in the bowl of your
food processor and pulse the sugar about 5-
7 times. You don't want to turn it into
powdered sugar, just a little finer than it
normally is. Set aside.
(2) Beat the egg whites: Place the egg
whites in the clean bowl of a stand mixer.
With the whisk attachment, beat on high
until the egg whites start to foam, then add
the salt and cream of tartar and whip a few
more seconds to combine.
Add the vanilla and almond extract and
continue whipping on high speed for
another 30 seconds.
(3) Add the sugar: Add the granulated sugar
slowly, about 1 tablespoon at a time to the
egg whites while they are whipping.
Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
(Remove the whisk attachment and lift it
out of the mixture—if the peaks left behind
stay standing, you have reached “stiff peak”
stage.)
(4) Add the dry ingredients: Slowly fold in
the dry ingredients 1/3 at a time with a
spatula. Do this carefully and slowly so you
don't deflate the egg whites. (This is the key
to light and airy angel food cake.)
Scoop into an ungreased 10-inch tube or
round cake pan.
