Hello fellow sweet lovers! I am so happy to share these fresh, made from scratch Angel Food Cupcakes with whipped cream. These cupcakes have just the right amount of sweetness. Sometimes it’s nice to have a dessert that isn’t overly sweet. Plus, angel food is on the lighter side of calories so don’t feel guilty eating two or three of them at a time!
These gorgeous cupcakes are so light and airy. I made fresh whipped cream and topped them off with some beautiful red strawberries. Its a match made in heaven if you ask me. They make perfect dessert for you and your sweetie. Of course, you can add any fruit or topping that you like. I highly recommend the whipped cream and strawberries.

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- In a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, confectioners’ sugar and salt; set aside
- In a large stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar together on medium speed. Add vanilla extract and continue to whisk to soft peaks. Slowly add the fine granulated sugar and whisk until medium peaks are formed (the tips of the peaks should flop over slightly) *Do not over beat to stiff peaks

- Spoon mixture into lined muffin tins.

I’ve never thought to make cupcakes from angel food before. What a great idea. Your pictures look amazing.
Thanks Carrie! I actually made cupcakes because I don’t have a bundt pan…hehe. I think they are better than the cake!
Saw you at Whimsy Wednesdays. Pinning this recipe to try. I too had always associated angel food cake with a tube pan (which I don’t own). I like this idea much better. Thanks for sharing!

Yummmmm I have wanted to try from-scratch angel food cake for a while now, but have been a bit intimidated. I think maybe it is the 12 egg whites. I’m going to do it though! Thanks so much for linking up at The Makers. π
