Angel Food Cake Gluten And Sugar Free Recipes

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.

GLUTEN-FREE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat Oven. Adjust oven rack to the middle position and remove the top rack. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Sift gluten-free flour and set aside.(This removes any lumps in the gluten-free flour.)
• Whip the Egg Whites. Stir together granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add egg whites and vanilla extract. Whisk on low to combine, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high (6-8 on a KitchenAid) and whip 6 minutes.Increase speed to high (10 on a KitchenAid) and whip until the meringue is shiny, white, and thick. This takes between 2-4 minutes. The tines of the whisk should leave a pattern in the meringue. Stop the mixer and remove the whisk attachment from the bowl. The meringue clinging to the whisk should form a very soft peak. You want it to fall in a thick ribbon off the whisk. Replace the whisk and turn the mixer back on to high speed.
• Slowly the Gluten-Free Flour. Add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and mix until incorporated. Allow each addition of flour to incorporate before adding the next.
• Bake the Cake. Spoon batter into an ungreased 10-inch aluminum tube pan. Bake until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch, about 50 minutes. (The internal temperature of the cake should be 206°F.)
• Cool the Cake. Remove pan from the oven and immediately invert onto the legs of the pan. If the pan does not have legs, invert onto the neck of a wine bottle. Cool for at least 2 hours. If the kitchen is cold, place the pan on top of the oven to cool and prop the oven door open.
• Remove the Cake from the Pan. Slide an offset spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen. Remove the insert, and slide a spatula under the bottom of the cake. Gently lift the cake off the insert and place onto a serving dish. To serve, cut with a serrated knife. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic for up to 1 week at room temperature.

HEALTHY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Set aside a 9-inch angel food cake pan (highly recommended!). If you do not have an angel food cake pan, a round pan with a removable bottom can be used. Note: the cake may stick to the pan using a regular round pan. Do not spray the pan, rather use a tiny amount of oil on the bottom of the pan to prevent the top from sticking.
• In a mixing bowl, add the starch, sorghum flour, and salt.
• Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, mix the egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix for 5 minutes or until soft peaks form. It should look like white clouds.
• Reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla extract until mixed. Next add the sugar and mix for another 3 minutes. The mixture should be stiff.
• Gently fold the flour and starch into the egg mixture by hand, being cautious to not deflate the eggs. Some deflating is normal. Be gentle!
• Transfer the mixture into the ungreased angel food cake pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until the surface is golden brown and bounces back when tapped.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool upside down so it does not deflate. Once the cake has cooled, use an offset spatula to loosen the cake from the pan. Slice into 8 servings and serve with berries and cool whip!

• 7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown and the cake springs back when touched. Check after 50 minutes, some ovens are hotter then the other.
• 8. When the cake is done, remove from the oven and immediately invert on a platter or on a large bottle. Cool for 2-3 hours. To remove cake, place the cake tin on its side and run a thin long flexible metal blade around the outside, pushing against the pan, then use a long, thin boning knife to loosen the part around the middle of the tube. If you have a pan with a release bottom, pop the cake out. Use a thin spatula to release the cake from the bottom.
• 9. Serve with whipped cream and strawberries or your favorite fruit. Enjoy!
