Delicious angel food cake topped with homemade butter icing and colorful dragees baked into the batter - a perfect birthday treat!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sifted cake flour
  • 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1.5 cups egg whites
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 0.25 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 0.25 cup butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons cream
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wash the angel food tube pan thoroughly in hot, soapy water to ensure it is completely grease-free. Let it dry completely. Sift the flour and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar together three times and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip egg whites and salt on high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and almond flavoring, and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually pour in 1 cup of white sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites and gently fold in with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in 1/4 increments. Pour batter into a clean tube pan and run a knife through it to remove air pockets.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a wooden pick comes out clean. Then, cool inverted pan on a wire rack for 1 hour.
  • Cream together 2 cups confectioners' sugar, butter, cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Adjust texture with more cream or confectioners' sugar if desired. Frost the cooled cake generously.
