Recipe : Lemon Angel Food Cake with Berry Topping

Makes 12 Servings

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup + 2 tablespoons sifted cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups raspberries
2 1/4 cups sliced strawberries
2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur

Preheat oven to 375oF. Onto sheet of wax paper sift together 3/4 cup of the
sugar, the cake flour and salt; set aside.
In large bowl, with mixer on low speed, beat egg whites 1-2 minutes, or until small
bubbles appear and surface is frothy. Sprinkle cream of tartar over whites; with
mixer at medium speed, add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar in a slow, steady
stream, beating until all the sugar has been added. Stop beating; scrape around
sides and bottom of bowl with a spatula. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest and
vanilla extract; continue beating until whites are stiff but not dry.
Sift one-third of the flour mixture over top of beaten egg whites; with rubber
spatula, quickly fold into whites, scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Repeat
procedure 2 more times, using half of the remaining flour mixture each time,
making sure all of the flour mixture is blended into whites.
Scrape batter into an ungreased 9" or 10" tube pan; with spatula, smooth surface.
Bake on oven rack set in lower third of the oven 25-30 minutes, or until a cake
tester inserted in center comes out clean.
To remove cake from pan, insert a thin knife around edge of pan; invert onto
serving platter. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine raspberries, strawberries, liqueur and the
remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest; let stand 30 minutes.
To serve, cut cake into 12 equal pieces; top each piece with an equal amount of
berry sauce.
