How to Bake Angel Food Cake in a Loaf Pan

Angel food cake is a light and fluffy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. While traditional angel food cakes are baked in a tube pan, you can also bake this delicious cake in a loaf pan for a fun twist on the classic recipe. Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 12 large egg whites, at room temperature
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar together in a bowl. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until they become frothy.
4. Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff peaks form.
6. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts.
7. Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the egg white mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
8. Pour the batter into an ungreased 9×5 inch loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, or until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn the pan upside down, placing the edges on two other pans or on the top of glass bottles to cool.
11. Once the cake is completely cool, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate.
