Making the Whipped Cream

Sift Well: Because the texture of Angel Food cupcakes is supposed to be light and fluffy, you want to make sure you sift your dry ingredients together to keep air in your mixture.Keep Egg Whites Fluffy: Egg whites are one of the most important parts of angel food cake. It is what gives it such an airy texture. Add the yolk and your cupcakes will end up too dense. Making sure you whip your egg whites until they are fluffy is key. From there, be extra careful when adding your egg whites to the rest of your mixture. A heavy hand can cause them to deflate.Keep Oven Closed: Use your oven light rather than opening your oven to check on your cupcakes. This can let out hot air and cause your cupcakes to not cook evenly.Don’t Grease Your Pans: Unlike other cupcakes, your Angel Food Cupcakes need something to stick to in order to rise, so it is best not to grease your pans. When Your Cupcakes Are Done: You will know your cupcakes are done when they become golden brown and have a slightly springy feel to them.

Toppings: In addition to berries, you can also add lemon zest and candied lemons, or pieces of shredded chocolate. Because the cake itself has a neutral flavor, it works well with all different kinds of toppings! Fillings: You can add fillings to your cupcakes once they have cooled down completely. Simply cut a small hole into the top of them and then fill it with chocolate, lemon curd, raspberry curd, custard, or more whipped cream frosting for a boost of creaminess.
