Angel Food Cake


White, Airy, Light, Sweet.
"The Food of Angels"  (They must have been on a high Protein , low carb, no fat diet!).  If you love to sift  this is the cake for you (5x).  This foamy cake has been criticized for its  appearance and taste to cotton. I like it.  I used a dozen Organic egg whites and it baked for 30 minutes.  I do not drink whine often enough to have a spare bottle on hand which it requires to invert while cooling to prevent cake from falling on itself (My Tube pan does not have legs). My daughter and I began a Mcguiver like hunt for a similar object ranging from a sunscreen bottle to a pointy statue. At last we found a bottle of "Seven" (A nutritious Acai drink full of antioxidants) which fit our need. The next hour was filled with suspense and silence out of fear that any motion or loud noise could send the cake tumbling down. After an hour I began the laborious  job of dislodging the cake from the ungreased tube pan. It finally came out in almost one piece.  
I had it plain with a cup of hot Chai.  My little Cherubs liked theirs  drizzled  with condensed milk.
 
108 to Go!

PS. The gorgeous flowers were a mother's day gift from BF.
