Angel Food Cake

There's a reason angel food cake is a favorite dessert -- it's tender, light as
air, and tastes, well, divine. What's more, it's virtually fat-free and uses just
six ingredients.

DIRECTIONS
1
STEP
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place our and salt in a sieve set over
a bowl; sift into bowl, and set aside. With a mixer, beat egg whites

beat until soft peaks form. Continue to beat, gradually adding sugar;
beat until sti peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla; beat to

2
STEP
Gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, wide bowl. In four
batches, using the sieve again, sift our mixture over egg-white
mixture. While turning the bowl, use a rubber spatula to fold in the
mixture by cutting down the center and coming up the sides.

3
STEP
Gently spoon batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan with a
removable bottom; smooth top. Cut a knife or small spatula through
batter to release air bubbles. Bake until cake is golden and springs
back when lightly pressed, 35 to 40 minutes. Invert pan; let cool in
pan, 1 hour. Run a knife around the inside of the pan and around the
tube to release cake, and unmold. Use knife to release cake from
bottom of pan, and remove.

Hi, is there a way to get the correct converting for
grams in Germany? I need to make this soon and is it
also possible to use this recipe for Mini-Muns? One
pan is for about 24 Mini-Muns. Would this be enough
or should I double the ingredients? THANK YOU!!
