Mini angel food cake cupcakes.

If you re looking for a light dessert these are a perfect way to add some cupcakes to your january. I got this recipe off of the package that contained 2 mini angel food cake pans 4 1 2 x 2. One of the reviewers had suggested to fill the cupcake holders all the way full so make a bigger cupcake. Bake for 18 22 minutes.

Make sure there are no yolks hiding in the batter as their fat will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly. Cake is done when it bounces back after a light touch. Increase speed slightly and whisk until soft peaks form. Pour batter into mini angel food pan.

Instead of making angel food in the typical tube pan try making mini versions in a muffin tin. Slowly add sugar cream of tartar and vanilla. Fold in flour sugar mixture. Drag knife through batter to remove air bubbles.

The result is a pretty airy little cake that is a perfect vehicle for whipped cream and fresh berries. You ll whip them along with the 1 2 cup of superfine sugar you set aside until light and fluffy. Egg whites a little water and cream of tartar make the base of angel food cake. I served it with fresh strawberries ice cream and whipped topping and it was a hit.

You can absolutely enjoy these cute little cupcakes by themselves but if you add a little whipped cream and chopped fruit even better. The cupcakes are beautiful all on their own but with a dusting of powdered sugar they are absolutely heavenly. Angel food cake adapted from allrecipes makes 14 cupcakes. Ingredients 6 eggs 1 2 cup and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar 1 2 cup all purpose flour 3 4 teaspoon cream of tartar.
