Many years ago, my husband’s Aunt gave me her Angel Food Cake recipe. I have baked it many times, and we always enjoy it.
This particular recipe takes a little work, but is definately well worth it. You can easily buy a box mix, that are actually very good too. As part of our Valentine Dinner, I served this cake with whipping cream and strawberry sauce.
Delicious angel food cake with homemade whipping cream and strawberry sauce from HoosierHomemade.com.

Strawberry Sauce
Whipping Cream
Instructions
- Mix egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 1/3 cups sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Sift Softasilk and sugar several times to make them light. Gently fold into egg white mixture.
- Add vanilla and almond extract.
- Pour into a greaseless tube pan or Angel Food cake pan, cut around pan 2 times and drop once about 14 inches from counter (this step removes air bubbles)
- Move oven rack to lower position, bake at 325 degrees for 40 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Cool upside down on a bottle.
- Made this just like I did the Blueberry Sauce
- Combine ingredients and beat until stiff peaks form.

What do you do with the egg yolks? About how many eggs does it take to get 1 1/2 cups of egg whites? Thanks!
@Kari, I typically keep the yolks for scrambled eggs. And it depends on the size of your eggs, I usually use 8-10 egg whites.
Thanks for visiting! Let me know if you have other questions. I’m happy to help!
