For my boyfriend's birthday this last year, I made him an angel food cake. Well, it went horribly wrong. When I say horribly wrong...I really do mean it. The little cakes turned out smaller than the amount of batter I filled the pan with. He took one bite and litterally gagged. I admit, I have never done angelfood cake before, but with this large amount of caos, I was put off cake making for a while.
Any suggestions, comments, ideas? Am I SOL on making angel food?
angelfood cakes need to be able to climb up the sides of the pan, so you need to be sure you are NOT using a non-stick pan, and that you do NOT grease the pan. I remember watching an Alton Brown episode on angelfood cakes and he said to make sure you're not buying a non-stick angelfood pan - he didn't understand why pan companies were coming out with them as angelfood requires the sticking to the pan part in order to rise.
Best of luck with another try!
it was a box mix...
and I did use a non stick cake pan, that I did spray with cooking spray. That was probably where I made my mistake
thanks
Go for the box mix, thats all i use. And everybody loves it, i get asked to make angel food cupcakes all the time. Try them out i promise if i can make them, so can you. And they are soooo yummy!
