Angel Food Cake Recipe
1 Cup sifted cake flour, ¼ teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups (12) egg whites
Sift flour with 3/4 cup sugar 2 times; set aside. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar, salt, and vanilla until stiff enough to form soft peaks but still moist and glossy. Add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, continuing to beat until egg whites hold stiff peaks. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over egg whites; fold in. Repeat, fold in remaining flour by fourths. Bake in ungreased 10 inch angel food cake pan at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until done. Invert cake in pan; cool.
For the creative person, there is Egg art. It’s art done with either hollow eggs or egg shells in an artistic theme of Poultry Days. A minimum of three eggs are required. It’s open to both adults and youth this year. This is the second year for Easter Egg decorating which was a huge success last year. There is a division for both adults and youth. Dye a hardboiled egg showing off your artistic flare.
For the youth ages 7-17 only is the egg exhibit. The divisions are white, brown, and, unusual eggs. You must bring in 6 eggs and paper plate to place them on.
