Whole Wheat Angel Food Cake

Ingredients:

1 cup sifted whole wheat flour
½ cup raw sugar
1 ¼ cups (10-12) egg whites
¼ tsp salt
1 ¼ tsp cream of tartar
1 cup raw sugar (sifted)
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp almond extract

Sift flour and ½ cup sugar 4 times. Beat egg whites and salt with wire whisk (not mixer) until foamy. Sprinkle in cream of tartar and beat until egg whites are stiff enough to hold up in soft peaks, but are still moist and glossy.
Add remaining cup of sugar in 4 additions, sprinkle over egg whites, beating 25 strokes or turns of beater each time. After last addition use 10-20 additional fold-over strokes.

Turn batter into ungreased angel food pan. Bake 30-35 minutes at 350°-375°. Invert pan and cool thoroughly before removing.
