Angel Food Cake

My grandmother used to make angel food cake all the time. It was sooooo good! I have very fond memories of that cake. So when the kids and I were invited to have Mother's Day dinner with some friends I immediately thought of making this cake to bring. I just hope it turns out as good as my grandmother's did!!

Directions

1. Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks, and then add cream of tartar, vanilla extract.
2. Sift together flour, sugar, and salt. Repeat five times.
