Step 1: Whisking eggs

• You require 6 big fresh eggs. Separate the whites from the yolks since this angel food cake recipe only utilizes the whites of the eggs. You can use the yolks in other recipes, such as salted egg yolks for savory buns.
• Whisk the egg whites with 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, adding gradually 60 grams granulated sugar while whisking. Continue whisking until the egg whites become stiff.
• Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 150°C for 10 minutes using the top and bottom heat settings, and turn on the convection fan if your oven has one.

Step 2: Mixing flavor

• In a bowl, mix 80 ml milk, 80 grams all-purpose flour, 40 ml cooking oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix everything together. 
• Add a small portion of the whipped egg whites to the flour mixture and fold it gently to loosen the batter. After which, fold the flour mixture back to the remaining whipped egg whites and gently fold until combined.

Step 3: Baking Angel Food Cake Mug’s cup

• One needs an 18 cm diameter round pan with a central tube. No lining with parchment paper or greasing is needed for the Angel Food Cake in the pan. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the oven and set the timer for 60 minutes.
• About 10 minutes before the baking is complete, open the oven door and turn the pan 180 degrees to provide even baking. If your cake top isn’t golden, bake for an additional 20 minutes. The total time in the oven will range from 60-80 minutes.

Step 4: Removing the cake from the pan

The angel food cake mug is done when it has turned a golden brown and springs back when the center of it is pressed gently. This is how you will know when to remove your angel food cake mug from the oven.

After removing the cake from the oven, invert it onto the neck of a bottle and let it cool completely. Allow the mug cake to cool before loosening its edges with a knife and removing it from the pan.

Olivia’s helpful tips for Diabetic Angle Food Cake’s combinations

Ever followed exactly the cake instruction, you only find the flavor’s wasn’t right? Don’t worry, to ensure your baking process is more simply and quickly, you should check out below practical tips from Olivia:  

• Balanced flavors:  Any new ingredient added to the mix should all play nice with one another in terms of flavor. Adding chocolate chips, for instance, would call for a slight amount of sea salt in the dough for it to draw out the richness in the chocolate. 
• Adjust cooking time:  Extra ingredients like fruits or nuts will influence the consistency of the batter and, therefore, may alter how long it cooks. You can change the cooking time to how well it is cooked. Start with the recommended time and add 10-15 seconds at a time if necessary. 
• Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients can bring a huge amount of improvement in flavor into a cake. The flavor of fresh berries, citrus zest, or even vanilla beans will be more concentrated and genuine compared with dried ones or those artificially flavored and scented. Fresh ingredients not only enhance the flavor but also impart a natural aroma that complements the overall experience.
• Consider dietary preferences: Since this is going to be given to a person who has diet restrictions, for instance, diabetics. For example, this would include using sugar alternatives or gluten-free flour so that the recipe caters to certain people’s needs without affecting the taste. Many alternatives can be substituted, such as almond flour to replace gluten or stevia for low-calorie sweetening, to make sure everyone gets to enjoy the treat.
• Frozen Angel Food Cake: If you can not finish all the cake and want to preserve its flavor for the next time, you can store it in the refrigerator within 1 week. Cut the cake into small pieces and place them in freezer-safe bags.

What are ingredient substitutes for Diabetic Angle Food Cake’s cup? 

In some cases, you will not have enough components to make an free-sugar Angel Food Cake Mug. At that time, you can consider some ingredient substitutes here: 

• All-purpose flour: You can use cake flour in place of all-purpose flour for that much lighter Angel Food Cake Mug. If you do not have cake flour, you can even mix whole wheat flour with cornstarch at a 1:1 ratio. This will not only help to attain a similar texture but also increase its health aspect to some extent.
• Eggs: If you really have to replace eggs, 6 tablespoons of egg whites can be used in their stead, although you would want to include another liquid to balance out your volume. Many commercial egg replacements for baking – available in stores are a mix of starches that have leavening properties to take the place of the egg in the recipe.
• Milk: You can use almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk to make it dairy-free. How each of these is different is that all will slightly alter the taste and texture, though all of them keep the cake moist enough. Use in the same amount called for in the original recipe.
• Granulated sugar: Coconut sugar, honey, or maple syrup may be considered. If using honey or maple syrup, adjust the amount of liquid ingredients in the recipe to achieve proper batter consistency.
• Vanilla extract: If vanilla extract is too sweet, almond extract, lemon extract, or a shot of rum are still good choices. Of course, each of these stand-ins will give the cake its own flavor, so pick based on your taste.
• Cooking oil: Use melted coconut oil, unsalted butter, or Greek yogurt instead. Any of these will slightly alter it, both in terms of texture and taste. Melted coconut oil or butter will give richness, while Greek yogurt will bring a hint of tang and some additional moisture.

What can Diabetic Angle Food Cake be served with?

If you want to add more special flavor for your healthy Angel Food Cake Mug, you can eat with a variety of accompaniments. Each toppings offer a unique  touch, let’s choose based on your personal preference.  

• Fresh fruits: Of course, fresh berries, for example, strawberries, blueberries,… will bring freshness and create a refreshing and balanced treat for you.
