What's a recipe for an angel cake?

my friend and i are reallly bored. All we have is flour, sugar, eggs, butter and milk, and some other things. We're really in the mood for cake. Do you know any recipes for a simple cake? that we dont have to go out and buy ingredients for?








Thanks so much!What's a recipe for an angel cake?
Ingredients


1 3/4 cups sugar


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 cup cake flour, sifted


12 egg whites (the closer to room temperature the better)


1/3 cup warm water


1 teaspoon orange extract, or extract of your choice


1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar


Directions


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





In a food processor spin sugar about 2 minutes until it is superfine. Sift half of the sugar with the salt the cake flour, setting the remaining sugar aside.





In a large bowl, use a balloon whisk to thoroughly combine egg whites, water, orange extract, and cream of tartar. After 2 minutes, switch to a hand mixer. Slowly sift the reserved sugar, beating continuously at medium speed. Once you have achieved medium peaks, sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a spatula fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.





Carefully spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Bake for 35 minutes before checking for doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall, the skewer should come out dry).





Cool upside down on cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from pan.





Cook's Note: Since they're easier to separate use the freshest eggs you can get.

Angel Cake Recipe








* 9 egg whites


* 1 teaspoon cream of tartar


* 1 cup sugar


* 7/8 cup flour


* 1/8 teaspoon salt


* 1 teaspoon vanilla

2. Sift the flour with the salt five times and fold it into the mixture.


3. Add the vanilla.


4. Bake in an ungreased angel cake tin in a very moderate oven (250-320 degrees F.) for forty-five minutes.


5. Be careful not to jar or disturb while baking.


6. Remove from the oven, turn the pan upside down on a wire netting or with a knife handle or some other small article inserted under the edge of the pan to permit steam to escape, and let it stand until the cake falls out.


7. Ice placed on the bottom of the tin will hasten the release of the cake.
