INSTRUCTIONS
Sift 3/4 cup/175 mL sugar with flour twice. Reserve. With electric mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and lemon juice on medium speed until "loosened". Continue to beat at medium-high until light. Slowly add remaining 3/4 cup/175 mL sugar, beating constantly. Egg whites should be very light and stiff. Beat in vanilla. Stir in peel. Gently mix or fold in flour mixture in 3 additions. Do not overfold so as not to deflate the egg whites. Very delicately spoon or pour batter into 10-inch/4 L tube pan. Bake cake in preheated 375F/190C oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean and dry and top of cake springs back when lightly touched. To make the sauce, defrost frozen raspberries. If they come in syrup, strain them. Reserve juices and puree berries through food mill or in blender or food processor. Add enough reserved juices to make medium-thick sauce. Add liqueur and gently stir in fresh berries. Cool cake in pan upside down (if pan does not have little feet to act as rack, invert cake and pan onto rack so air can circulate underneath). To remove cake from pan, use long thin knife to loosen edges. If pan has removable bottom, remove sides and then loosen bottom with knife. If you are using a one-piece pan, use spatula or knife to loosen bottom. Do not worry if cake seems crushed - it usually springs back into shape. Serve cake with berry sauce. Converted by MC_Buster. NOTES : Angel food cake is delicious and contains virtually no fat. The cake freezes well and can be served with the Berry Berry sauce or with plain fresh fruit, sweetened soft yogurt cheese or sorbet. You should use a traditional tube or angel food cake pan, and remember that the whole trick to making a high, light angel cake is to beat the egg whites properly. For the berry sauce, a food mill will puree the berries and strain out the seeds at the same time. If you puree the berries in a blender or food processor, you will have to strain the mixture afterwards if you want to remove the seeds. If you use unsweetened frozen berries, you may have to add about 1 tbsp/15 mL sugar to the sauce. This recipe, from Bonnie's "Simply HeartSmart Cooking" book, makes 12 to 16 servings.
