Can you bake angel food cake in Pyrex?

Only use glass if it is labeled oven safe. Pyrex is the most common brand in the US, though there are other brands out there. You can bake in it just as you would in metal, but like a dark metal pan, your cake will brown faster than in a shiny metal pan.

How can I cool angel food cake without a glass bottle?

Why do you have to cool angel food cake upside down? Angel food cake MUST be cooled inverted, or upside down. Otherwise, the cake will collapse on itself. Tube pans can be balanced on bottles or you can rest the edges against something raised (like books or cutting boards of equal heights).

Can I use a Bundt pan instead of a tube pan for angel food cake?

Traditionally you would use a tube pan made for angel food cakes, but I used a bundt pan and it worked out just fine. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the cracks in the cake feel dry and the top springs back when pushed in gently. Remove from oven and gently place the pan upside down (inverted) on a glass bottle.

How do I stop my angel food cake pan from leaking?

The most common is to wrap the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil as you would for a springform pan going into a water bath. There were also a ton of clever ideas on Food 52, including using a circle of cut grocery bag between the two parts.

Why is angel food cake baked in a tube pan?

The tube pan helps because as the batter rises, it can "climb" the pan, sticking to the edges. This is also why angel food cake is left to cool upside-down in the pan for an unusually long time; it should not be removed from the pan until it is completely set.

How do angel food cake pans work?

Angel food cake is baked in an ungreased pan so that it can cling to the pan as it rises and won't slump during baking; the ungreased interior also helps prevent the cake from slipping out of the pan when it's cooling upside down.

What is the best way to cool down the angel food cake?

Why do you have to cool angel food cake upside down? Angel food cake MUST be cooled inverted, or upside down. Otherwise, the cake will collapse on itself. Tube pans can be balanced on bottles or you can rest the edges against something raised (like books or cutting boards of equal heights).

Is angel food cake the same as sponge cake?

The main difference between angel food cake and sponge cake is that angel food cake uses only egg whites, while sponge cake uses both the whites and the yolks. Because of this, angel food cake has a lighter texture while sponge cake is more dense.

Is white cake the same as angel food?

First of all, angel food cake is not a yellow cake. It's a white cake. That is, it only contains egg whites (and lots of them) but no egg yolks. The egg whites help give angel food cake its foamy meringue-type lift.

What happens if you don't put sugar in a cake?

Sugar helps cakes stay moist after baking. A completely sugar-free cake will dry out quickly, so wrap cooled cakes in cling film to prevent moisture loss.
