How to make angel food cake:

Separate egg whites, let whites stand at room temperature about 1 hour. Set oven at 375° to preheat. Sift together 4 times, flour and 3/4 cup sugar. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and flavorings. Beat on speed No. 12 until whites are stiff and stand at peaks 2 minutes. Do not overbeat until dry. Sprinkle in rapidly while beating on speed No. 8. Add the remaining 1 cup of sugar about 1 minute, scraping bowl gently toward beaters with rubber spatula. Turn to speed No. 1; sprinkle in sifted flour mixture evenly and quickly, scraping up and over with folding motion only until blended, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Remove from mixer, cut through batter folding over and over a few times with rubber spatula. Put into tube pan (ungreased). Cut through batter 6 times in a circle. Push batter to touch edge of pan. Bake about 35 minutes. Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Invert on funnel or bottle neck at once, let hang until completely cold. Then insert spatula between cake and side of pan. Press lightly against pan, going around and lifting spatula to loosen cake. Loosen around tube, invert on plate.
