Angel Food Cake drizzles with Honey Lemon Yoghurt

I made my first angel food cake yesterday. At first I didn't know that angel food cake is actually made by foam alike beaten egg whites. It was fantastic, the texture and the taste. So, here I would like to share with you guys the recipe of the angel food cake.

INGREDIENTS :
  • 12 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of cream of tar tar
  • A dash of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons of fine salt
  • 2 spoons of lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 2 cups of cake flour
For the sauce :
  • 2 cups of plain yoghurt
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Special equipment : A 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan

DIRECTIONS :
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and placed the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Add a dash of vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks formed. Add the sugar gradually and beat the mixtures for about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the egg white mixture. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the flour until incorporated.
  • Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch non stick angel food cake pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and a skewer inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall of the pan comes out clean.
As for the sauce : Whisk together the yoghurt, honey and lemon juice. Drizzle on your angel food cake.

Enjoy :)
