A light coconut-flavoured angel food cake that is blissfully gluten free! Note that it is better to slightly over-bake this cake than to under-bake it. It is a delicious soft, light angel food cake that freezes very well and thaws wonderfully. Ingredients:
1/2 cup potato starch |
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. cornstarch |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 2/3 cup egg whites, room temperature |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar |
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract |
1/2 tbsp. coconut extract |
1 cup granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Sift together, potato starch, cornstarch and granulated sugar. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and extracts.
4. Beat on high speed with electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Do not over beat.
5. Reduce the speed to medium-high and sprinkle in the remaining cup of sugar. Beat 2 minutes.
6. Turn mixer to lowest speed and sprinkle in the sifted starch-sugar mixture, beating about 1 minute more.
7. Carefully pour out the mixture into an un-greased 10” tube pan.
8. Bake 35 minutes. Invert pan and let cool completely.
