A beautifully presented Raspberry Angel Food Cake sits on a rustic ceramic serving plate atop a dark wooden table. The tall, fluffy cake is generously coated in a textured, light pink raspberry frosting and crowned with a large pile of fresh red raspberries. A single slice has been removed, revealing a light, airy crumb with whole raspberries baked right into the sponge. A serving knife rests on a napkin to the left, and a small bowl of extra fresh raspberries sits to the right.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cake flour (sifted)
  • 1.5 cups Superfine sugar (divided)
  • 12 large Egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1.5 tsp Cream of tartar
  • 0.25 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 1.5 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp Almond extract
  • 0.25 cup Freeze-dried raspberry powder
  • 1 cup Fresh raspberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Do not grease your 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Sift together the cake flour and ¾ cup of the superfine sugar at least three times. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, whip the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on medium speed until frothy.
  4. Increase speed to medium-high and slowly add the remaining ¾ cup superfine sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until soft, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and freeze-dried raspberry powder.
  6. Sift the flour mixture over the meringue in four batches, gently folding it in with a rubber spatula. Fold in the fresh raspberries during the last batch.
  7. Spoon batter into the ungreased pan. Run a knife through to remove air pockets.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and springs back to the touch.
  9. Immediately invert the pan and let cool completely upside down for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan.
