Honey Angel Food Cake Recipes

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH LEMON HONEY YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the cake: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle the flour over the egg white mixture. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the flour until incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and a skewer inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall of the pan comes out clean. Invert the pan on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour into a serving pitcher.
• Using a spatula, loosen the cake around the sides and middle. Release the cake and place on a serving plate. Cut into slices and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and mint sprigs.

HONEY GLAZED ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. 1. In a small bowl, combine cake flour with ¼ cup of sugar. Whisk to combine and set aside. 2. In a clean, electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on high until foamy. Add in cream of tartar and salt. With the mixer still on high, slowly sprinkle in 1 cup of sugar. Keep whipping until soft peaks form. Once the egg whites are holding soft peaks, stop the mixer and continue whipping by hand. 3. Sprinkle the flour mixture on top of the egg whites a little at a time, and carefully fold. Drizzle the honey and vanilla on top of the egg whites and continue folding until combined. 4. Carefully spoon the batter into an ungreased angel food cake or tube pan. 5. Bake in a 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cake is light brown and springs back to the touch. 6. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, cool the cake upside down on the neck of a bottle. 7. Once completely cool, run a knife around the edge of the cake and tap the pan until it releases. 8. Prepare the glaze. Mix the confectioners' sugar with the honey. Slowly add in the water until smooth and thin. Spread over the top of the cake.
