Did I mention the Angel food cake? The one I made a week or so ago? It was gooooood. Just a recipe from the BH&G cookbook. But it really turned out moist. MMmm! I heartily encourage anyone to try it. Not hard to make. I do suggest using a stand mixer if you have it for the eggs. You have to beat them til stiff peaks and this can take some time. A stand mixer will allow you to move about and go on with your time as you see fit. The first time I made angel food cake I didn't have a standmixer. This was 10 years ago. Heck I didn't have a hand mixer. I had no electric mixer to my name! So I used my wisk. Yes I wisked 1 dozen egg whites to stiff peaks! Yeah, I'm the woman. I served it with whipped cream and fresh berries. But all that wisking... well it frightened me for years. Such a fright that I just couldn't imagine making it again. Til I caved last week. Wanting that sweet, light, FAT FREE wonderfulness. So I get out the cookbook and find the recipe. "Yup, the dozen egg whites, I remember this", I thought to myself. But then it occurred to me, "Hey! I have a stand mixer! I can DO this!" Got it done in no time. Of course I don't have the newly formed arm muscles that I had after wisking my hand, but it was good. Even the next day it was good. And the next day after that it was still moist!
Yes yes, you must try making this recipe instead of buying it.
Until I wisk again-
