Angel Cake Low Fat Food

ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle position and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
• In a food processor or blender, pulse the sugar until fine and powdery. Remove 1 cup and set aside to use in step 3; keep the rest inside the food processor. Add the cake flour and salt to the food processor. Pulse 5-10 times until sugar/flour/salt mixture is aerated and light.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium-low until foamy, about 1 minute. Switch to medium-high and slowly add the 1 cup of sugar you set aside. Whip until soft peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. See photo and video above for a visual. Add the vanilla extract, then beat just until incorporated.
• In 3 additions, slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg white mixture using a fine mesh strainer, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. To avoid deflating or a dense cake, don't add the flour mixture all at once. Sift and very slowly fold in several additions. This is important! Pour and spread batter into an ungreased 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Shimmy the pan on the counter to smooth down the surface.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking. The cake will rise up very tall while baking. Remove from the oven, then cool the cake completely upside-down set on a wire rack, about 3 hours. (Upside-down so the bottom of the tube pan is right-side up, see photo and video above.) Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap the pan on the counter until the cake releases.
• If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar. Slice the cake with a sharp serrated knife. Regular knives can easily squish the cake. Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

KETO ANGEL FOOD CAKE | THE BEST LOW CARB ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 9-inch pan tube pan with parchment paper, don't grease.
• Sift flours and egg white powder into a bowl, set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a hand mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar until frothy. Then slowly add the swerve while continuing beating until soft peaks form - do not overbeat the mixture. Add the vanilla extract in the end.
• Fold the flour mixture - a third at a time - gently into the beaten egg whites with a silicone spatula.
• Spread the batter evenly in the pan, smooth the top, and tap the pan on the table a few times to make sure there are no big bubbles.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden and then cool the cake upside down on a cooling rack.
• Run a knife along the inside edges of the pan to release the cake and invert it on a plate. Peel the parchment paper from the top.
• Serve alone or top with confectioners swerve, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.

HEALTHY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a small bowl, add the starch, sorghum flour, and salt.
• In a stand mixer bowl with whisk attachment, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whisk on high speed for 5 minutes -- it will increase in volume and look like fluffy clouds.
• Reduce speed to low and slowly add in the vanilla sugar. Once that's added, add the vanilla extract, stevia extract, and almond extract. Beat for a total of 3 minutes. Mixture should be stiff and slightly shiny.
• Take bowl off the mixer and sift in the dry ingredients. Fold together, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Deflating some of it is inevitable, but just try to be as gentle as you can and fold as little as possible... you don't want to overmix this.
• Scoop the mixture into an UNGREASED angel food cake pan (I used a 9" nonstick angel food cake pan) and spread out the surface. Bake for ~40 minutes, or until surface is rounded, golden brown, and springs back when tapped. Let the cake cool upside down (so that it doesn't deflate). Once completely cooled, use an offset spatula to loosen the cake from the pan. Slice and serve immediately.

LOW-FAT CHOCOLATE CHIP ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F. Make cake mix as directed on box--except gently stir chocolate chips into batter. Bake, cool and remove from pan as directed.
• To serve, cut into 12 slices. Drizzle each slice with chocolate syrup; top with berries.

LOW-FAT CHERRY-ALMOND ANGEL CAKE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F. In extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix, cold water and extract with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Carefully fold in cherries. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9-inch angel food pan or batter will overflow.)
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks feel very dry and not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle, or rest edges on 2 to 4 cans of equal height until cake is completely cooled, about 2 hours. Run knife around edge of cake; remove from pan.
• In medium bowl, mix butter, powdered sugar and enough cherry juice for desired spreading consistency. Spread glaze over top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side. Garnish with whole cherries, if desired.
