Angel food cake (modified)
436g egg whites (15 large, 1 bantam)
436g sugar
1T vanilla extract
Mix on low 1 minute, increase to 4 for 3 minutes.
Add 2T lemon juice & 1/4tsp salt (Morton kosher). Increase speed to 6 and whip 3 minutes more.
Increase to 8 and whip 2-4 minutes, until it's like a slightly runny soft serve. (It was pretty much to this point before we increased the speed--go by visual cues, not times in future. I didn't this time because of the huge discrepancy.)
Fold in 140g bleached cake flour, spoon into 10" tube pan and bake at 350*F for about 45 minutes. Should be puffed, golden blond, and firm, 206*F.
It does not tell you to cut through the batter with a butter knife. Do this, unless you like large air bubbles. I would also say golden brown. Mine was blond, and it was slightly underdone.
