Angel Food Cake/Angel Cake 天使蛋糕

Angel food cake likely got its name because of its light, snowy white and fluffy texture. This Angel food cake with some crushed dried rose petals and lemon zests which added some "tang" to the cake. The crushed dried rose petals made the cake look beautifully and even more heavenly despite added flavour. 😘

This cake is one of the lightest cakes and low in fat too! Angel Food Cake can seem a little intimidating, but it’s actually super simple and quick to make. You must try this homemade version! So light, so airy and so much delicious flavor! Furthermore, a great way to use up the egg whites...😊👍

90g   Cake Flour 低筋面粉

50g   Vegetable Oil  植物油

2 pieces of dried roses( crushed) and some lemon zests

Method:

4. Sift in flour into milk mixture and mix til well combine.

5. Gently combine the whipped egg whites with the flour mixtures, and then pour into an ungreased 7 inch tube pan. Before pouring the batter, sprinkle crushed dried rose petals and lemon zests into pan.

6. Tap the pan lightly on a table top to get rid of any trapped air bubbles in the batter.

7. Bake in pre-heated oven at 180 degC for 35 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, when lightly pressed the cake will spring back.

8. Invert cake, and allow it to cool in the pan. When thoroughly cooled, remove from pan. 

Notes:

• You can use all purpose flour to bake this cake. In order to get a smoother batter, I advise to remove a tbsp of all purpose flour and replacing it with a tbsp of corn flour.
• Immediately inverted so the baked cake will maintain its volume and to keep it from shrinking as it cools.
• A tube pan with a removable bottom is highly recommended.

Happy Baking!
