Perfect Gluten-Free Angel Food Cake

This is nevertheless my pass-to recipe for angel food cake! people are continually amazed this is gluten-free. i like the usage of it in desserts like trifle or serving it on it’s own with berries and whipped cream. I’ve up to date the recipe the way I’ve been making it recently with easier-to-locate substances. enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups egg whites, from 10-11 large eggs
• 3/4 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

1. Separate the egg whites and allow them to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350. In the bowl of a food processor, process the flour, cornstarch and powdered sugar together until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
3. Process the granulated sugar slightly, about 5-7 pulses. You don't want to turn it into powdered sugar, just a little finer than it is normally. Set aside.
4. Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on high until starting to foam then add the salt and cream of tartar.
5. Add the vanilla and almond extract and continue whipping on high speed.
6. 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.
7. 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 good angel food cake.) Scoop into a ungreased 10-inch round pan.
8. Bake at 350 for about 35-40 minutes until lightly golden. Immediately invert pan onto a cooling rack when you remove it from the oven. Cool completely then run a knife along the edges of the pan and carefully plate the cake. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:
Previous recipe used 1/2 cup brown rice flour, 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon tapioca starch, 3 tablespoons potato starch for the dry ingredients. This will still work great!
You can use any gluten-free all-purpose flour blend you like in this recipe. I like using this one from King Arthur Flour or this one from Bob's Red Mill. Use this angel food cake to make all your favorite desserts gluten-free!
