This recipe serves: 14
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

For the Angel Cake:
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
1 1/4 cups egg whites (about 10 large egg whites) at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Summer Fruit Salad:
1 cup mixed berries
1 mango, peeled, pitted and cubed
1 nectarine, pitted and sliced
2 tablespoons orange juice

For the Finest Raspberry Dessert Sauce:
3/4 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar

For the Angel Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Sift the flour twice with
1/2 cup of the sugar. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg
whites, cream of tartar and salt until soft peaks form when the mixer is
removed from the batter. Add half of the remaining sugar and beat for 1
minute. Add the remaining sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating after
each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Fold the flour and sugar mixture into
the egg whites, 1/4 cup at a time, just until incorporated. Put the batter
in an ungreased 10" tube pan and bake until the cake is light golden brown
and springy to the touch, about 1 hour. Invert the pan and let the cake
cool completely before removing from the pan.

For the Summer Fruit Salad: Mix fruit in a bowl. Sprinkle with the orange
juice.

For the Finest Raspberry Dessert Sauce: Puree the berries in a blender
with the lemon juice. Blend in the sugar by the tablespoonful, tasting
after each addition, until the desired degree of sweetness is reached.
Strain through a fine strainer, pressing with a rubber spatula to release
the juices.

Put it all together: Place a slice of angel cake on each plate. (Store the
leftover cake in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.) With
a slotted spoon, place a portion of the Summer Fruit Salad on a corner of
the cake slice and let it spill over the side. Drizzle the raspberry sauce
around the fruit salad.
