How to Prepare Angel Food Cake:
Take a 10 x 3 ¾ inch baking pan for the Angel Food Cake.
Preset the oven to heat at 375 degrees.

Now add to it ¾ cups of sugar and beat it regularly until sugar is dissolved. Pour only 2 tbsp of sugar at a time. You will see that egg white will become glossy and its peaks will form. Add vanilla flavor to it.
In another bowl, sift together flour, salt and remaining sugar.
Take half cup of flour mixture and pour it over egg white mixture and fold it until flour vanishes. Repeat this process until whole flour mixture is used.
Pour this mixture in the baking pan and gently cut through batter using the metal spatula.
