Yes, I am over the halfway point of this challenge (seriously, is that it?!? It feels like it’s been much longer…). Anyway, to celebrate, I made assisted in making an angel food cake from scratch. You see, angel food cake is my favorite cake and I have always been so satisfied with the easy-to-make box version that I never even considered making it from scratch (too many egg whites). But it was time to find out whether the real version was better than the boxed version.
The recipe: We used this recipe, skipped the mango ginger part, and instead made up our own chocolate glaze (combining dark chocolate, sugar, and butter).
Quick recap: As expected, this process involved a lot of egg-cracking. And beating. And discussing what a “soft peak” looked like. Otherwise, the instructions were fairly simple to follow.
The verdict: It tasted just as good as the boxed kind! Maybe better since we made it all from scratch?
