Description
This Homemade Raspberry And Cream Angel Food Cake is a light, fluffy dessert layered with fresh whipped cream and juicy raspberries. Perfect for summer gatherings, it’s a low-fat cake recipe with a tender crumb and refreshing berry flavor.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups egg whites (about 10 to 12 large eggs)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Make sure the tube pan is ungreased and completely clean.
2. Sift together the cake flour and half of the granulated sugar. Repeat the sifting process twice more.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form.
4. Gradually add the remaining sugar to the egg whites while beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Add vanilla and fold gently.
5. Sift the flour mixture over the whipped egg whites in small amounts, folding carefully each time to maintain volume.
6. Spoon the batter into the tube pan. Smooth the top and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.
7. Invert the pan immediately after removing it from the oven. Let cool upside down completely.
8. Once cool, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
9. Carefully remove the cake from the pan. Slice into two or three layers.
10. Spread whipped cream and raspberries between each layer, and top the cake with more cream and berries.
Notes
Make sure egg whites are room temperature before whipping.
Do not grease the pan—this is key for the cake to rise.
Use a serrated knife to slice the cake cleanly for layering.
