Not knew to GF cooking, but baking I am. Angel Food Cake help!
Hi, I swear at one point I saw a gluten free Angel Food Cake box mix when I was at a target. I think it was Duncan or Betty Crocker mix but I have not seen either in stores near me (the stores could be the issue come to think of it) or online. I just googled and there are a few options, one makes my favorite grahams, smore’sables and other brands. Anyone tried out these mixes and can give me a review or tips incase i do find a mix? Steer me away from ones that aren’t worth the money spent. I do know to let batters/doughs rest 15-30 minutes to help the flour absorb the liquids fully before baking.
Anyways, has anyone here tried to make a GF Angel Food Cake, from scratch? If anyone is willing to let me in on their recipe I’d be forever in your favor and send you ridiculous photos of my tuxedo cat. It’s my favorite kind of cake, top3 regardless of current tastes (ADHD). and has been a craving it for so long. Please help me, I know it’s labor intensive from scratch but I don’t mind that at all, actually I look forward to it. Cooking and food are a love language of mine and I haven’t had this kind of cake in over 14 years because I’ve been gluten free.
How I made it, near every birthday or chance I got, is as follows:
Get the cake completely cooled and make a 1-2inch crater into the top of the cake, not the sides, middle of the top. Its important to have the “walls” of the cake.
Break up the cake taken out into pieces for use later
Get strawberry jello with fresh sliced strawberries that you prepped the night before or morning if doable.
Spoon jello/strawberries and cake bites into the crater in the cake
Make fresh whip cream and use as frosting
Phenomenal! I don’t care how expensive it will be! I NEED MY FIX!!! /drama
Thanks! I’m hoping this will also be a spark to start baking again, mainly box mixes at first then move on to making other things from scratch!!
