How To Make angel food cake

  • Step 3

    In a large non plastic bowl, beat egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer on medium speed (about 45 seconds) Add cream of tartar and salt.
  • Step 5
    Beat again on medium speed until soft peaks form when beater is slowly raised (about 1 1/2 minutes) Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at a time. Turn Beater to high speed. Beat until egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks form (about 1 1/2 minutes)
