Even though Easter is over, these darling cupcakes can be decorated in a variety of styles. These are super simple yet very elegant and look amazing on a dessert table! I've topped these with jelly bird eggs, but imagine them with whipped topping and fresh strawberries!
Angel food cake is in the foam cake category. Simply stated, the cake doesn't use any rising agents like baking powder. It relies on the egg whites and cream of tartar to stabilize the cake. I love the texture of foam cakes, do you?

Angel Food Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake mix and the water on the package
- 1/2 c powdered sugar
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake papers.
- Prepare angel food cake mix according to package directions but add the pinch of salt.
- Fill each cupcake tin to the top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
- Let cook 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Notes:
Adding the pinch of salt reduces the sweetness of the cake. You can also add 1 t lemon juice.
Remember to mix only as long as the package directions indicate. Beating too long can result in tough cupcakes.
I absolutely LOVE angel food cake, but have never made them as cupcakes! Those look absolutely darling for Easter, and I love your idea for topping them with some whipped cream and strawberries for a perfect, light dessert all spring and summer long.
