Ingrediants
- 450 g (from about 11 eggs) of egg white
- 200 g of white flour of type 00
- 8 g of chemical yeast for cakes or (recommended) 8 g of cream of tartar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 vanilla pod
- 250 g of powdered sugar
Materials Needed
- Electric whips
- Very large bowl
- Pot for American donut (24 cm upper diameter; 21 cm lower diameter; 10 cm high)
- Spatula
- Sieve
- Chopping board
- Knife
Preparation
- Pour the egg whites into a very large bowl and add a pinch of salt. Beat the egg whites for a couple of minutes, until partially whipped.
Did you know that
To facilitate whipping, the egg whites should be at room temperature. If not, they can be gently heated in the microwave, up to 20-25 ° C.
In this case we used pasteurized egg whites. It is however possible to take the egg whites from fresh eggs: the yolks can be used for the preparation of custard or eggnog.- Cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape the inside to take the seeds. Flavor the egg whites with the vanilla essence.
- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C, in the "ventilated" function.
- Operate the whisk again and add the cream of tartar (or chemical yeast) and icing sugar gradually and always mixing.
- At this point, slowly add the flour a little at a time, mixing with a spatula or a wooden spoon (not with a whisk!).
- Pour the dough (which must be very soft and fluffy) into the specific mold for American donut, the same one used for the Chiffon Cake.
Important tips
It is recommended not to grease or flour the mold.
Do not beat the mold on the surface to level the dough! It will be sufficient to caress the surface with a spatula to avoid letting the egg whites go limp.- Bake the cake at 160 ° C and bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove the mold from the oven and immediately turn it over onto a surface: the special feet of the mold will allow air to circulate in the cake, detaching it from the walls. The peculiarity of letting the donut cool "upside down" prevents the cake from collapsing.
- Serve the Angel Cake in slices, perhaps together with the caramel sauce or custard.
