Lemon Angel Food Cake with Lemon Curd Topping

Products Used

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
  • 3/4 cup + 3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from 10-12 large eggs), no yolk traces
  • 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons fine grated lemon zest, no white bitter pith
  • Lemon Curd
  • Fruit of choice
      • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

      2. Set aside an angel food cake pan; do not grease pan.
      3. Sift together flour and first listed 3/4 cup sugar and set aside.

      8. Turn the pan upside down and allow to cool.
      9. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen cake and place on a serving platter.
