LEMON ANGEL FOOD DESSERT

Steps:

• Bake angel food cake as per directions.
• Trim off the crusts and break into bite size pieces.
• Combine 6 egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup of lemon juice.
• Cook in double boiler until thickened (coats spoon).
• Remove from heat and add 1 tbsp.
• unflavored gelatin softened in 1/4 cup of water to mixture and cool.
• Beat 6 egg whites till stiff and add 1/2 cup sugar.
• Fold whites into egg yolk mixture.
• Arrange 1/3 of cake pieces loosely in bottom of tube pan.
• Pour 1/3 of lemon custard mixture over cake.
• Continue until there are 3 layers ending with the custard mixture.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Loosen and remove from pan.
• Frost with whipped cream.
• An alternative method to assembling this cake would be to mix the angel food pieces with the custard mixture and put in a spring form pan. Make it the day before. When released from the pan frost with whipped cream or Cool Whip. This works wonderfully.

THE BEST ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the sugar, cream of tartar and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Add the egg whites and 2 tablespoons water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on low speed until the whites are foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and slowly sprinkle in the sugar mixture (this should take about 3 minutes). Watching closely, continue beating until medium-soft peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes longer. (You want the mixture to droop when lifted out of the bowl. If the peaks stand straight up, you have taken it too far and the cake will sink during baking). Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.
• Remove the mixing bowl from the stand and working in three additions, very gently fold the flour into the egg whites until just incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch footed angel food cake pan and smooth the top.
• Bake until the top is golden and springs back when touched and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the cake upside-down on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan, about 3 hours.
• Run a knife or a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan and gently tap it on the counter until it releases from the pan. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the cake -- a regular knife will smash it. Serve with berries and whipped cream.

ANGEL CAKE SURPRISE

Steps:

• Break angel food or pound cake into bite size pieces. Put into a 9x13 inch pan (preferably glass).
• Dissolve 1 package of flavored gelatin in 1 cup of water and pour over cake pieces, spreading to the edges of pan. Drain the peaches and pour the juice over the gelatin in the pan. Slice bananas on top of gelatin. Arrange peach slices on top of banana slices. If desired, add crushed pineapple.
• Prepare instant pudding according to instructions on box and spread evenly over fruit.
• Spread whipped topping on top of the pudding. Try to keep the layers separate.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
