As you all have gathered, I love to cook and bake. For the past couple years, I have been entering baked items for judging at the Iowa State Fair. I am proud to say I have placed with at least 1 item every year so far. This year I won 2nd place in the angel food cake class with this recipe. This recipe was a last minute decision and it was first time I had every made it. I have to say it was risk that paid off. Since it was the first time I made this cake, I have no idea what it tastes like but obviously the judges liked it. I am looking forward to making it again soon so my friends and family can enjoy it as well.

3/8 tsp. salt, divided
½ tsp. cream of tartar

1 ½ c. sugar, divided
1 ¼ c. all-purpose flour, divided
¼ c. cold water
1 tsp. baking powder

In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium setting, beat egg whites until foamy. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, cream of tartar and vanilla; beat on high setting until stiff peaks form. Mix in ¾ cup sugar and ½ cup flour; pour batter into an ungreased 10” tube pan. In a separate large bowl, beat egg yolks until lemon colored. Add water, baking powder, extract and remaining salt, sugar and flour; mix well. Pour egg yolk mixture over egg white mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Serves 10.
