Strawberry Angel Food Cake

This stunning cake is not only visually appealing but also incredibly delicious. To create this dessert, you will need the following ingredients:

Strawberry Angel Food Cake ### Ingredients

1 cup of cake flour
1 ½ cups of sugar
¼ teaspoon of salt
1 cup of egg whites (about 8-10 large eggs)
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup of coconut whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure to have an ungreased angel food cake pan ready.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, 1 cup of sugar, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to whip until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the remaining ½ cup of sugar to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and mix gently.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Pour the batter into the ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
Once baked, invert the cake pan immediately onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Once cooled, use a knife to gently release the sides of the cake from the pan. Invert it onto a serving plate.
Top the cooled cake with sliced fresh strawberries and dollops of coconut whipped cream, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

This Strawberry Angel Food Cake is not only a feast for the eyes but a delightful dessert that’s light and refreshing, making it a perfect end to any meal. Enjoy a slice— or two— and share with your loved ones!
