    scratch - Brown Sugar Angel Food Cake #1

    1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
    1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
    1 1/2 cups egg whites (from 12 to 14 eggs)
    1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Will need an ungreased 10 inch tube (angel food cake) pan.
    Combine cake flour and 1 cup brown sugar.
    In a large bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and salt until foamy.
    Gradually add second cup of brown sugar.
    Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
    Add vanilla extract; blend well.
    Divide flour-brown sugar mixture into 4 portions.
    Use a large rubber spatula to fold each portion in separately; gently lift
    meringue up and roll it over onto itself. Fold JUST until no traces of dry
    ingredients can be seen. Gently push batter into tube pan. With a long,
    sharp knife, make 5 or 6 vertical cuts through batter to eliminate large
    air pockets.
    Bake 45 minutes, or until top of cake springs back after it is lightly touched
    with a finger. As soon as cake is removed from the oven, IMMEDIATELY
    invert pan. If pan does not have legs, place the center tube over the neck of
    a large, heavy bottle. Do not remove from pan until cake is COMPLETELY cool.
    This takes at least 1 hour.
    Dust with sifted powdered confectioners sugar, or frost with a favorite icing.
