Angel Food CupcakesAngel food cupcakes are a light and festive choice for any party. Top with whipped cream and strawberries and you're good to go. I really like this recipe I found on the Cupcakery blog. Hope you enjoy for any of your events. 1. Preheat the oven to 375° degrees. Line cupcake pan with papers and set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour with one cup of the sugar. Sift these together three separate times. Set this aside and place remaining sugar in a separate cup for later use. 3. Place the egg whites in a standing mixer bowl and, using the whisk attachment, turn the mixer at the lowest speed. 4. After 1 minute, add the cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt. 5. After another minute of beating, turn the mixer to medium speed and gradually add the 1/2 cup of remaining sugar. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula when all the sugar is added. Resume beating until the whites are stiff but moist. (This should take about 3 to 5 minutes.) 6. Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl. Sift the flour-sugar mixture over the whites and gently fold until all the dry ingredients are mixed in. 7. I used a small ice cream scooper (2 scoops) to fill the cupcake liners and it was the perfect amount. The cupcakes baked for 9 minutes but each oven varies, so watch your baking times. I would say no longer than 10 minutes as the bottoms may burn. 8. Cupcakes will be done when a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Remove cupcakes from the pan and place on a wire rack. Cool completely before frosting. Top with your favorite whipped cream and fresh fruit and you've got yourself a fantastic dessert.
