Print Recipe

A light, airy, and naturally pink angel food cake made with simple ingredients and natural beet juice for a delicate blush. Perfect for celebrations or casual treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided; use fine sugar for smoother texture)
  • 1 cup cake flour (sifted)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 2 tablespoons natural beet juice (fresh or store-bought, unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Sift the cake flour and half of the sugar together twice and set aside.
  2. In a large clean bowl, whip the egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the remaining sugar while whipping on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the sifted flour and sugar mixture in thirds using a rubber spatula, being careful to keep as much air as possible.
  5. Mix in the beet juice, vanilla extract, and salt gently but thoroughly.
  6. Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and spread evenly without smoothing out excessively.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the cake is golden on top and springs back when touched.
  8. Immediately invert the pan onto a cooling rack or bottle and let cool completely to prevent collapsing.
  9. Once cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake and transfer to a serving plate.

Notes

Do not grease the pan to allow the batter to cling and rise properly. Whip egg whites to stiff peaks and fold flour gently to keep air bubbles intact. Cool cake upside down to prevent collapsing. Use natural beet juice for color without affecting flavor. For gluten-free, substitute cake flour with gluten-free baking blend and adjust beet juice slightly.
