Angel Food Cake

Published on by Susie @ Kirby's Kabin Blog1 Comment

I can remember the first time I made this recipe… I was so proud of myself because it turned out so well. The recipe scared me because it seemed to go against everything I had learned about baking… a cold oven and an ungreased pan. I’ve had this recipe for quite some time and I believe it came out of a very old cookbook that we had in the kitchen when I was growing up.

This is really rather simple to make and you can save the egg yolks to throw in some scrambled eggs for breakfast. This is extra delicious when you pair it with some fresh strawberries but I think any fruit would probably be good with it.

This is a recipe that my oldest daughter brought home one day to add to our recipe box. She loved making these as often as she could and I loved to try them out when she made them. Cakes in a Mug are great for when you have a sweet tooth but don’t want to make a whole cake.
