But when they work properly!! Oh wow because you get golden tops and squishy insides and that slightly crisp edge that just melts in your mouth so I made a dozen last weekend and believe it or not they were gone before I could even frost the last one.

Have you ever tried making angel food anything If not then you’re in for a surprise since these little guys aren’t just cute but also super light and practically guilt-free and weirdly addictive so what starts as “just one more” quickly turns into four.

And here’s a little tip because you really shouldn’t make them when you’re hangry since you will absolutely burn your mouth trying to taste-test straight from the oven and yes I’m speaking from experience
So let’s bake together shall we.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup egg whites about 7-8 large egg whites
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar divided
• 2/3 cup cake flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or sprinkles for topping

How to Make Angel Food Cupcakes

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F) and line a muffin tray with cupcake papers. You can omit the papers if you want to use the traditional method, but they make cleanup easier.

Step 2

In a large, clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar and salt using an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix until soft peaks form when the egg whites are slightly stiff but still stiff, gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar while continuing to beat. This will help the egg whites become glossy and stiff. You’ll know they’re ready when you lift the beater and the peaks stabilize.

Step 3

In another bowl, sift the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the cake flour. Repeat the process twice to ensure it is smooth and fluffy. Gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites gradually. Use a flat spoon and mix slowly don’t stir or you’ll lose the fluffiness. Add the vanilla extract while mixing. Spoon the batter into the cupcake tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops lightly.

Step 4

Finally, bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and springs back when touched. Don’t open the oven too early, as the cupcakes may fall. You can now cool them upside down on a wire rack. This prevents them from sinking as they cool.

Tips for the Best Angel Food Cupcakes

Make sure your mixing bowl is very clean and dry even a drop of oil can ruin the fluff.

Do not grease your muffin pan or liners the batter needs to “climb” the sides to rise.

Decorate just before serving if using whipped cream or fresh fruit to keep them fresh and fluffy.

What to Eat with Angel Food Cupcakes??

I usually eat these cupcakes with a glass of fruit juice and my little boy loves them with chocolate milk. As you know, kids love sweets more and sometimes I like to add chocolate sauce or caramel for a richer dessert or I add a scoop of ice cream. It’s great too.
