Ila Horner's Angel Food Cake

1 cup cake flour
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 cups egg whites
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions:
Measure and sift together flour and sugar three times. Set aside. Combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until the whites form stiff peaks like a miringue. Sift flour mixture over beaten whites and fold in gently with a rubber spatula just until blended. Spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to break large air bubbles. Bake at 375° for about 35 minutes or until cake browns and has large cracks on top. Remove cake from oven, and invert the pan until cake has cooled.

Notes:
Ila Horner contributed this recipe to the Jolly Neighbors Extension Club of Rose, Nebraska, for a hand-written cookbook that they made during the early 1960's. I have expanded the directions a little because all the recipes were greatly condensed to fit on one side of a 3x5" recipe card. Eldon and Ila Horner were neighbors who lived in the Duff Valley. I went through grade school with their daughters, Velda, Carolyn, and Teresa.
