and bake for forty to fifty minutes in slow oven. The
cake must not begin to brown until it has been in oven
for twenty-five minutes; by this time it will have raised
to its full height. The point in the angel food is in
the baking, but with the gas cooking of the present day
this can be accomplished perfectly. In preparing the
flour for angel food I only sift once, as I consider it
time wasted to sift oftener.
