Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour mix*
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 12 egg whites
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla or almond extract
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Measure flour mixture, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and xanthan gum and set aside.
- Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and vanilla until quite stiff. While beating, gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. By hand, fold in the flour mixture.
- Pour the stiff batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through the batter with a knife to break air bubbles. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Invert immediately or let cool on a rack. (As is cools, it will stiffen like a wheat-flour cake.)
- Frost when cool, or top with sliced strawberries, lemon sauce or topping of your choice. You also can slice and wrap each piece with plastic wrap and freeze.
Notes
* Gluten-Free Flour Mix: Combine 2 cups white rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch flour and 1/3 cup tapioca flour.
