Angel Food Cake (天使蛋糕)

When I saw Anncoo's post on this cake, I tell myself I have try this cake.  As I was wondering how to solve the egg yolks and egg whites problems, a friend gave me a buzz and said she would pass me some egg whites.  Wow.... I was more than happy to be the recipient.

I must say my baking skill seem to have slacken.  This is my second attempt.  First attempt was a little better but this round something must have gone wrong during the process.  The 'holes' look big but nonetheless I still love this cake.

  2. Hi Chris,

    Your cranberry angel cake looks very light and heavenly. Saw a recipe once that if we bang the cake pan too much, the small bubbles might pop leaving the large ones before and I wonder if it is happening to your second cake. Hmmm... Food for thought :D
