Description

These angel food cupcakes are light as air. With no butter and hardly any flour, you can feel good about eating 3, 4, 5, 6 of them …

Ingredients

  • 1-⅔ cup Egg Whites (See Note)
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cream Of Tartar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-¼ cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 1 cup Cake Flour
  • ½ cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 cup Seedless Raspberry Jam

Preparation

Note: It takes about 12 to 14 large eggs to produce 1 1/2 cups egg whites.

Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 muffin tins with liners. Set aside.

Pour egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer along with cream of tartar and salt. Whip several minutes until soft peaks form. Increase speed to high and gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Whip until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla and almond extracts.

Sift flour and confectioner’s sugar into a separate bowl. Then sift flour mixture into egg white mixture, 1/3 at a time, carefully folding into the batter after each addition. Do not over mix or deflate the egg whites.

Pour the seedless raspberry jam into a small bowl, whisk for a few minutes until liquid. Add into the batter and gently swirl. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop batter into muffin tins. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the tops are just browned. Let cool.

Also – you can make the cake flour you need for this recipe by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. And make sure you have a full 1 2/3 cups egg whites!

Thank you! They are light and fluffy and totally melt-in-your-mouth. I have a recipe for the lemon cream cheese frosting I used on my site. They compliment each other so well!
