Um...

It just slips my mind I thought I made an angel food cake hmm
gosh I just wonder where it went I saw it I touched it I felt it I held it I opened my mouth and thats all I remember anyway I suppose I ought to tell you about it! If you must know everything about my life I will tell it Waliv (wallace) is sighing on my lap and rolling around is that enough or do you want to know how often I brush my teeth or how often I pet,hug,and kiss Wallace? Now it's getting personal. Well anyway it was my first angel food cake making and eating it twas good very sweet and delicious and I had to sift the dry ingredients three times (that took awhile) after that I was panting hoping it was done but you never have such luck. Yes that's right there was more now being interested in what else I have to say I say I had to get ten egg whites (with some yolk it's impossible) the rest was pretty simple here is the dreadful recipe!
For cake:

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Sift flour, 1/2 cup superfine sugar, and salt into medium bowl; repeat sifting 3 times. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, lime peel, and vanilla on medium speed in large bowl until frothy (mixture may turn neon green but color will change when remaining ingredients are added). Add cream of tartar; increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sprinkle 1/3 of flour mixture over whites and gently fold in until incorporated. Fold in remaining flour mixture in 2 more additions just until incorporated. Transfer to ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan with 4-inch-high sides and removable bottom (do not use nonstick pan); smooth top.

Bake cake until pale golden and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 38 minutes. Immediately invert cake onto work surface if pan has feet, or invert center tube of pan onto neck of bottle or metal funnel and cool cake completely.

Using long thin knife, cut around cake sides and center tube to loosen. Lift out center tube with cake still attached; run knife between cake and bottom of pan to loosen. Invert cake onto rack, then turn cake over, rounded side up. Set rack with cake atop rimmed baking sheet.

  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cups superfine sugar, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 10 large egg whites, room temperature
