Honey Angel Food Cake
  1. 1

    Place a 10-inch tube pan in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Beat the egg whites with the salt in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until the egg whites hold peaks. Gradually add the honey while continuously beating to blend until stiff peaks form. Lift the beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form sharp peaks.

  3. 3

    Sift the flour and white sugar together. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg whites and gently fold with a spoon to combine; repeat with two more additions of the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Stir the vanilla into the batter.

  4. 4

    Remove the hot tube pan from the preheated oven. Pour the batter into the hot pan. Thump the pan several times on a flat surface to release air bubbles in the batter.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire pastry rack for at least 2 hours. Run a long, thin metal spatula or knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake from the pan.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
