Papi's Angel Food Cake

A Mullen favorite for generations. 

Sift together three times:
1 1/4 c. flour
2/3 c. sugar

Beat:
15 egg whites from extra large eggs
2 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt

1 1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract

Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with a mixer on medium speed with the whisk attachment until foamy. Then add the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually add sugar 1 Tbsp at a time while the mixer is going. Continue to beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in on low speed, the sifted flour mixture by fourths into the egg whites. Pour batter into an angel food cake pan. Using a knife, cut through the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool upside down on a rack. Cake should hold it's shape and not fall. 

Pat's family likes this with fresh whipped cream and strawberries that have been sliced up and mixed with sugar. But you could also serve with chocolate and nuts, or anything you like.
