Angel Cake
Instructions
- 1
Put into one tumbler of flour one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, then sift it five times.
- 2
Sift also one glass and a half of white powdered sugar.
- 3
Beat to a stiff froth the whites of eleven eggs; stir the sugar into the eggs by degrees, very lightly and carefully, adding three teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract.
- 4
After this add the flour, stirring quickly and lightly.
- 5
Pour it into a clean, bright tin cake-dish, which should _not_ be buttered or lined.
- 6
Bake at once in a moderate oven about forty minutes, testing it with a broom splint.
- 7
When done let it remain in the cake-tin, turning it upside down, with the sides resting on the tops of two saucers so that a current of air will pass under and over it.
