How to make boxed angel food cake better?
I mean you can make it “regular” right with a tube pan and the mix with water. That is in fact incredible and holds lots of memories for me as a child. It was my birthday cake for many years and as is makes my mouth water. You can make other creations out of the dry mix too though. From chocolate angel food cake to pineapple and more, just wait.

Adding cocoa to a regular vanilla treat is a fun way to make something out of this world out of a boxed mix. A cake mix hack if you will, and yes we do have a whole lot of them we will share with you here.
If you want to use a countertop appliance instead of using the oven because it is too hot to turn that baby on you can make Instant Pot angel food cake. It’s perfect if you’re in love with your pressure cooker like I am.
This pineapple angel food cake recipe is light and fluffy with a bit of tropical flavor to it. More dense than the original type you make in a fluted pan but easier in a 9×13″ instead this time.
Thispeach angel food cake recipe only has 2 ingredients and a great throw together dessert. This is probably our favorite angel food cake mix recipe because chocolate is our thang…..
Why is my angel food cake gummy?
You likely over-mixed it. There are two types of boxed mixes, one that has the dry egg whites mixed into the bag of other ingredients and another that has a separate pouch. Already mixed in is better so you know it is evenly distributed. You only need the water incorporated until it is fluffy and light, then stop! With homemade don’t over beat the egg whites.
Is angel food cake healthier than regular cake?
Well this is egg yolk free with no butter so in those cases it would mean there is less fat contents. There still is sugar and calories in it as other desserts would have though so eating it in moderation is important but if you were to compare this to a pound cake or cupcakes I would say overall it would be healthier than other choices.

What makes angel food cake different from regular cake?
Several elements are different, the biggest one is the texture. Instead of a more dense bite, this is so light you usually can’t even cut it with a fork. It is almost easier to eat torn off into a piece and almost eaten like cotton candy believe it or not.
The pan you bake it in differs too as you’ll need an ungreased fluted pan where the middle lifts out of the rounded outside piece. It is also not typically served frosted at all. That is not necessary as it is quite sweet almost like candy.
