Ingredients

VANILLA FROSTED ANGEL FOOD CAKE

  • 80 g cake flour
  • 340 g (425 ml) Huletts White Sugar
  • 360 g egg whites (±9 extra-large eggs)
  • 5 ml (1 t) cream of tartar
  • 10 ml (2 t) vanilla essence
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 10 ml (2 t) lemon Juice
  • 500 g (960 ml) Huletts Icing Sugar
  • 500 g butter

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 165 ºC.
  2. Combine the flour and half the sugar.
  3. Whisk the egg whites, other half of the sugar and cream of tartar to a thick meringue.
  4. Combine the lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla essence.
  5. 5. Gently fold the flour mixture, the lemon mixture and vanilla essence into the meringue.
  6. Transfer mixture into an ungreased chiffon cake tin and bake for 45 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and gently turn the tin over onto a worktop, allow to cool completely. This will set the shape so that this very light cake does not collapse.
  8. Beat the icing sugar and butter together until creamy consistency.
  9. Once cooled release the cake from the tin and cover with icing.

Top tips

BUTTER: DO NOT Microwave

Rather, thinly slice and cut into different lengths to make creaming easier.

Don’t be vanilla

Split a vanilla bean in half and sink in a jar full of sugar. Let it sit for a week for delicious vanilla-perfumed sugar. Perfect for baking, great in coffee or tea, or sprinkled over oats.

EGGS:

Place in warm water while preparing other ingredients for the recipe.
