Why a PINK chef's coat?

Simply put, I carry my Dad's legacy with me through my cookbook, cooking and everyday I am writing my food columns, he is always with me. I carry my Mom with me through a silent reminder of her struggle with breast cancer that took her life, as well as the lives of many other women who have dealt with, and are still dealing with, this horrible affliction. Besides, why not pink? It makes a man look good!

Ingredients

For 8 people

Recipe

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup(s) cake flour (not self-rising)
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 8 egg whites, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup(s) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) powdered sugar

'Light as a Cloud' Angel Food Cake Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Grease a cake pan with butter or margarine, or nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with sprayed waxed paper. Sift flour and powdered sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In large bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in 2/3 cups sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, to the whites, beating just until whites stand in stiff, glossy peaks.
  3. Sift flour mixture, one-third at a time, over beaten egg whites; fold in with rubber spatula just until flour mixture is unseen.
  4. Spread batter into prepared pan evenly. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Invert cake onto cutting board; carefully peel off waxed paper and continue cooling until ready to eat.
