This first recipe is a simple cake made from scratch that can be used to
make any type of celebratory cake. The instructions are easy to follow
and ingredients are simple to find in your local grocery store.
Ingredients:
500g of Sifted Cake Flour
350g of White Sugar
1 tble Baker Powder
1 tsp Salt
120ml of Vegetable Oil
7 Egg Yolks
180ml of Cold Water
2 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
1 Tsp of Lemon Extract
7 Egg Whites
1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
1 Recipe of Williamsburg Butter Frosting
Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 165 degrees C. Using hot soapy water, wash a 25
cm angel food tube pan to make sure it is completely free of grease.
Next, measure the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a sifter,
and sift into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the middle of these
dry ingredients. Going in the order listed, add the oil, egg yolks,
water, vanilla, and lemon flavoring to the well. Set aside without
beating.
In another large mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar
together forming stiff peaks. Set this aside. Next, use the same beaters
to beat the egg yolk batter until it is light and smooth. Gradually pour
over the eggs using a rubber spatula to fold it all in. Do not stir.
Pour the batter into the angel food tube pan.
Bake the cake for 55 minutes at 165 degrees C. Then increase the heat
to 180 degrees C and bake an additional 10 – 15 minutes until the cake
is done. Invert the pan until the cake cools. This makes approximately
12 servings.
