One of the best desserts that is both tasty, delicious and easy to make is angel food cake with a cake. It is so simple to create and it is usually a family favorite. If a bake sale is coming up at work this might be the hit of the entire sale. So grab your kitchen aid hand mixer and some ingredients and you can put this together in a little over half an hour.
Go ahead and preheat the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven also. Grab a large bowl for mixing and start mixing a dozen eggs with an electric hand mixer. Set it to medium and work the eggs into a froth. Add one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract, a tablespoon of lemon zest and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Beat this mixture for five minutes on high.
Slowly add powder sugar in the amount of one and a half cups. Sift in one cup of flour while folding it into the mix with a spatula. Smooth out any lumps that may be created from the flour.
A ten inch nonstick angel food cake pan should be of sufficient size. Pour the mix into the cake pan and put it in the oven for about forty to forty five minutes. The top will begin to brown when it is done. Sticking a toothpick in the angel food and removing it with no cake attached will indicate that the cake is done.
Top dessert with any variety of fresh fruits or an icing. A sugar icing is most commonly used. Some might even top an angel cake with a can of cherries. There are a number of store bought syrups and sauces that could be used. It’s also common to make a homemade sauce from scratch.
Angel food is made to have a light topping on it. Frosting is too heavy and is not recommended. Adding sugar to a fruit juice and mixing it with a cuisinart hand mixer can make a light syrupy sauce that will work nicely with the cake.
This cake will be a hit at a party or bake sale. You can even experiment with the sauces to make something unique. The only problem you should run into is people eating the cake before you are able to serve it.
