Angel food cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting



Blogger Sugar Plum made these (go to her for the recipe) and writes:

SEE! I'm a very healthy person, so why can't I think of any healthy desserts? The only dessert that came to my mind was angel food cake. Angel food cake contains no fat, and is made with whipped egg whites, sugar, vanilla and cake flour.

I'm not a huge fan of angel food cake, but at times it can be nice, so I thought I would make some cupcakes. Angel food cake is very light and airy and delicious served with a light glaze or fruit. I frosted my angel food cupcakes with a lemon cream cheese icing, which I thought was nice because the tanginess complemented the sweet cake. I actually piped the frosting on the cake instead of just schmearing it on like I usually do.

So this is it: your one healthy dessert of the year. I can't think of anything else. When I make dessert, I HAVE to use butter or cream. I think when you eat dessert you should go big or go home.

I've wondered about angel food cupcakes. I only make angel food cake as I was taught growing up: in a bunt pan and I flip it over as it cools.

Did you 'flip' yours over anyway while they cooled?
