Whole Wheat Angel Food Cake

I made this for Enrichment this week. Everybody raved about it! It really turns out light and fluffy!!!

¾ Cup whole wheat flour

¼ C cornstarch

1 ¼ C powdered sugar

12 large egg whites (I was going to try powdered, but I couldn’t find any.)

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp cream of tartar

1 C powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Grind ¾ C wheat on fine. Put the whole wheat flour, cornstarch and 1 ¼ C powdered sugar in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Set aside. Separate egg whites from egg yolks, being sure there is no piece of yolk in the whites. Put the whites in mixer bowl. Add salt and cream of tartar. Whip on med speed until whites will stand in peaks. Turn the mixer down to low speed. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar and vanilla. Stop the mixer and sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture and blend again for just a second. Do not thoroughly blend. Add the remaining flour mixture and blend only until thoroughly mixed. Pour into angel food cake pan and bake 30-35 minutes at 375. Invert pan to cool.

Patti-

so to make recipes whole wheat is it always 3/4 C whole wheat & 1/4 C corn starch to each cup of white flour?
