Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plus 3 tbsp cake flour
  • 1 cup plus 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups egg whites (about 13–14), room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp superfine sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • Several drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • 6 egg whites (about 180 g)
  • 1 3/4 cups plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • Dash of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
  • Several drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • Rainbow nonpareil sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sift together the cake flour, powdered sugar, and salt. In another bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, then gradually sprinkle in superfine sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the dry ingredients along with vanilla bean paste, almond extract, and food coloring until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Bake it in your preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want it nice and fluffy! Once done, invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. While your cake cools, whip up another batch of egg whites with granulated sugar and corn syrup until glossy peaks form. Fold in additional flavorings as desired.
  5. Once cooled, carefully run a knife around the edges to release the cake from the pan. Spread your topping generously over the cooled cake and decorate with rainbow nonpareil sprinkles if you wish! Slice into pieces and enjoy every bite of this beautiful creation.
