Recipe

• 1 for the angel cake:
• 2 preheat the oven to 350°f
• 3 sift the flour twice with 1/2 cup of the sugar.
• 4 with an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form when the mixer is removed from the batter.
• 5 add half of the remaining sugar and beat for 1 minute. add the remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after each addition.
• 6 stir in the vanilla.
• 7 fold the flour and sugar mixture into the egg whites, 1/4 cup at a time, just until incorporated.
• 8 put the batter in an ungreased 10" tube pan and bake until the cake is light golden brown and springy to the touch, about 1 hour. invert the pan and let the cake cool completely before removing from the pan.
• 9 for the summer fruit salad:
• 10 mix fruit in a bowl.
• 11 sprinkle with the orange juice.
• 12 for the finest raspberry dessert sauce:
• 13 puree the berries in a blender with the lemon juice. blend in the sugar by the tablespoonful, tasting after each addition, until the desired degree of sweetness is reached.
• 14 strain through a fine strainer, pressing with a rubber spatula to release the juices.
• 15 put it all together:
• 16 place a slice of angel cake on each plate. (store the leftover cake in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.)
• 17 with a slotted spoon, place a portion of the summer fruit salad on a corner of the cake slice and let it spill over the side.
• 18 drizzle the raspberry sauce around the fruit salad.
