Spiced Angel Food Cake with Cinnamon Sugar Recipe

For a Spiced Angel Food Cake with Cinnamon Sugar, gather these ingredients: 1 cup cake flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 12 large egg whites, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon). Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift cake flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract. Gently fold dry ingredients into egg whites in three batches, ensuring no lumps remain. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Invert pan immediately and cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around edges to release cake. Place on a serving plate. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top. Slice and serve. This light, spiced cake blends airy texture with warm flavors, perfect for any occasion. Yields 12 servings, with each bite offering a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
