Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, sift together cake flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites along with vanilla bean paste, almond extract, and optional pink food coloring until just combined.
Pour batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Invert the pan onto a cooling rack to cool completely before removing the cake.
For frosting, whip together remaining egg whites with granulated sugar until glossy peaks form. Add corn syrup, cream of tartar, salt, vanilla bean paste, and optional coloring.
Once cooled completely, frost your Beautiful Pink Angel Food Cake with whipped frosting. Top with rainbow nonpareil sprinkles if desired.
