Mini Angel Food mold by Nordic Ware

Ingredients

• 5 egg whites
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 100 g of flour
• 115 g of sugar
• 1 tsp cream of tartar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks using the Tellier separator and let the egg whites rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 175ºC. It is important that you do not grease the mould, and that the utensils you are going to use are completely clean and ungreased.
3. Sift the flour and powdered sugar and set aside. In a bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer on medium speed until foamy. You can also use a KitchenAid stand mixer .
4. Slowly add the sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla. Increase the speed slightly and beat until soft peaks form.
5. Add the flour and sugar to the mixture and then pour in the batter into the mini Angel Food mold and lightly tap the mold on a surface to remove any air bubbles in the batter. You can also use a wooden stick to stir the batter a little.
6. Bake for about 22 minutes. To check if the mini Angels are done, insert a toothpick and see if no dough comes out.
7. To make it easier to unmold the mini angels, you can run a long wooden skewer or spatula around the edges of the cakes to loosen them from the mold.
8. Finally, pour the mini Angels onto a cooling rack and wait for them to cool.

This is a recipe that you can then decorate with the ingredients you like the most, but we recommend a simple, very light glaze on top and a little lemon zest, orange or some other fruit, since in this way, the delicious flavor of the cake will predominate.

If you prefer, you can make the maxi-sized version, the traditional Angel Food Cake is ideal to make in the Nordic Ware Angel Food mold.
