This angel food cake is light, airy, and perfect for any occasion, topped with fresh strawberries for a refreshing touch.

Ingredients

• 12 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh strawberries

Method

1. Begin by vigorously whisking egg whites until they achieve stiff peaks, then mix in cream of tartar, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
2. In another bowl, sift together flour, sugar, and salt, repeating the sifting process five times to ensure a light and fluffy blend.
3. Gently fold the flour mixture into the whipped egg whites, taking care to maintain the airy texture.
4. Pour the batter into a 10-inch tube pan without greasing it.
5. Place the pan in a cold oven, then preheat to 325°F (165°C) and bake for about an hour or until the cake turns a lovely golden brown.
6. After baking, invert the pan to allow the cake to cool completely before gently removing it.
7. Serve with fresh strawberry slices on top for a delightful finish.
