Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Angel Food Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and set aside an ungreased angel food cake pan.
  2. Sift the cake flour into a mixing bowl to remove lumps and aerate it.
  3. In a large bowl, whip room temperature egg whites until foamy, gradually adding granulated sugar until stiff peaks form (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Gently fold the sifted cake flour into the whipped egg whites until just combined.
  5. Fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared angel food cake pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and springs back when touched.
  8. Invert the cake immediately onto a cooling rack and let cool for about an hour.
  9. Run a knife around the edges to remove the cake from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with cream.

Notes

Ensure egg whites are at room temperature for maximum volume. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture of the cake.
