**Angel Food Cake Borracha**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup cake flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 12 large egg whites, room temperature
– 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons dark rum
– Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
– Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the rack is placed in the lower third of the oven.
2. In a large bowl, sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar together. Set this mixture aside.
3. In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed until they become frothy.
4. Add the cream of tartar and salt to the egg whites. Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
5. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to the egg whites, a little at a time. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
6. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and dark rum into the egg white mixture.
7. Carefully fold in the sifted flour and sugar mixture, one-third at a time, until fully incorporated. Do this gently to avoid deflating the egg whites.
8. Transfer the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
9. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
10. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
11. Once the cake has cooled, run a knife around the edges of the pan to release the cake. Invert the pan again to remove the cake.
12. Dust the top of the cake with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
13. Slice and serve this delicious Angel Food Cake Borracha to your guests and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
