Can I use liquid egg whites from a carton?

I have probably made over 50 Angel Food Cakes and have always used fresh egg whites. But I have seen this question many times and was curious myself if it would work. In my opinion, you can use carton egg whites, but I didn't find that the cake rose as high and the texture wasn't as good.

How to use up leftover egg yolks?

According to this article regarding egg safety, we can freeze egg yolks if we prefer not to use them within four days. Although I have never frozen them myself, I have always found ways to use up the leftover egg yolks. Here are some ideas:

• Make some delicious Keto chocolate custard
• Try my Low carb Baked cauliflower rice pudding
• Quiche is always a great idea, as well as scrambled eggs. Just add an egg yolk and a tablespoon of water instead of a whole egg.

Can I use a Bundt pan to make angel food cake?

Many people have asked if they can use a Bundt pan instead of a specific angel food pan. It is always recommended against doing so. The angel food pan allows the cake to rise easily and it usually has metal feet on them to help hold up the pan when it is flipped over to cool. I decided to try for myself and the results are below.

Baked in a bundt pan, the sugar free angel food cake did not rise as high. Also, it was very difficult to get out of the pan. It mostly stuck to the bottom and I had to piece it together. Is it possible? Yes, but results are not as good.

• Pour batter into an ungreased angel food pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for approximately 40 minutes. The cake will be golden brown when it is done and a toothpick inserted in cake will come out clean.

Here is the sugar free angel food cake that was baked in a standard angel food pan with the little metal feet. It cooled upside down for an hour. I still had to gently slide a butter knife around the edges but the results are so much better.

Baking Tips

• Make sure eggs are room temperature and be careful not to get any yolks in the whites when you are separating them.
• Turn cake pan upside down to cool. Due to its spongy texture, this will help the cake from collapsing and will maintain the cake's height.
• After frosting cake, serve it by slicing with a serrated knife.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for about 4-5 days.
• You can let unfrosted cake stay covered at room temperature for 3-4 days.
• If you want to freeze the cake, wrap the cake without the frosting and store in freezer for up to 3 months. Make the frosting when you are ready to serve the angel food cake.
