Angel Food Cake



1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup cake flour, sifted
12 egg whites (room temp.)
1/3 cup warm water
1 tsp. orange or any extract
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Preheat oven to 350.
Spin sugar in food processor for 2 minutes to make superfine.
Sift half of sugar w/ salt & cake flour. Save the other half of sugar.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, water, extract, & cream of tartar.
After 2 minutes, beat with an electric hand mixer. Slowly sift the remaining sugar into the mixture, beating continuously at medium speed. Once medium peaks have formed, sift enough of flour mixture to dust the top of foam. Using a spatula, fold in flour mixture gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.
Carefully spoon mixture into ungreased tube pan. Bake for 35 minutes until wooden toothpick comes out dry. Cool upside down on rack for 1 hour before removing from pan.
