HELPFUL INFO
- These cupcakes are excellent with whipped cream and even some vanilla ice cream. Adding some sprinkles or fruits as toppings are excellent as well.
- Because they are slightly sticky on top, I would recommend storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- You can make this cake in an Angel Food cake pan. Time may vary. I would use a 9-inch pan. Don’t forget to NOT GREASE the pan and let it cool upside down.
- You can also bake in an ungreased 9 x 13 pan. Cooking time will be around 35 to 40 minutes.
FREEZING TIPS
You can freeze the cupcakes. However make sure they are completely cooled before doing so.
Also, Angel Food cakes are very light and airy. I would recommend wrapping each cupcake in a plastic wrap then in a freezer safe bag.
This will help the cupcakes not to absorb the freezer smell and avoid freezer burns.
Thaw in the fridge or on the counter. Once thawed, warming it up in the microwave or air fryer for a few minutes might help revive it a little bit. Freezers have a tendency to make cakes a bit more dry.
