No egg yolks or fat are used in the cake mix, and the lift comes entirely from whisked egg whites.

Usually, plain flour is used, but a mix of plain flour and cornflour results in a much more stable cake.

It’s important that the correct tin is used. It’s a specific angel food cake tin and must be ungreased; the cake is inverted in the tin to cool, so you don’t want it slipping out.

This recipe serves 12-14 people.
