angel cake

ngredients

• 6 eggs, separated
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup sifted flour

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Grease and line and 9-inch/23 cm spring-form pan.
2. Beat the whites to stiff peaks. Beat in the yolks, one by one. Continuing to beat, add the sugar and vanilla, and finally the flour. You should have a very high, mousse-like batter. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden on top, risen high, and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, about an hour. Be sure it is fully cooked when you take it out – it is a big cake. Let the cake cool 15 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and let cool completely. Transfer to a serving platter. Cover with blackberries and white currants. Serve with whipped cream, crème fraîche, parfait, or ice crea
