ANGEL CAKE
- Flour, 1 cup sifted 5 times.
- Lemon juice, 2 teaspoonfuls.
- Powdered sugar, sifted, 1 cup.
- Egg whites, 11 beaten to stiff froth.
- Vanilla, 2 teaspoonfuls.
Stir the sugar into the whites very lightly and carefully, adding the vanilla, after which add the flour, stirring quickly and lightly. Pour into a bright, clean cake dish, which should not be buttered or lined. Bake at once in a moderate oven about forty minutes. Test it with a broom splint. When done, let it remain in the cake tin, turning it upside down, with the sides resting on two saucers, so that a current of air will pass over and under it.
