Happy 4th of July!
What better way to celebrate than with some red white and blue? So I made angel food cupcakes to layer with whipping cream, strawberries and blueberries.
3/4 cup & 2 Tablespoons superfine sugar
1/2 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 egg whites (room temperature)
2 1/2 Tablespoons warm water
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (or other flavor extract like vanilla or almond)
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Sift together half of the sugar, flour and salt
Whip together egg whites, water, extract and cream of tartar as it starts to stiffen add remaining half of the sugar in until stiff peaks form
fold in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until it is all incorporated
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes
When you're ready to eat, slice the cupcakes and layer in whipping cream and fruits. These won't last long put together so put everything together right before you're ready to serve.
I made the cupcakes in the morning and then we put them together and enjoyed them as a post fireworks treat.
