Light and fluffy heavenly goodness. These Angel Food Cupcakes {with Cranberry Whip} are melt in your mouth delicious!

Angel Food Cupcakes {with Cranberry Whip}

If you’ve never tasted home made Angel Food Cake you are really missing out on something special.

I’ve eaten store bought Angel Food Cake many times and it’s ok but can have a bit of a spongy texture. Home made Angel Food Cake on the other hand is a whole different story.

It’s so light and fluffy and much more moist than store bought. No sponginess at all. So if you’ve never made Angel Food Cake I definitely recommend that you try this recipe. Totally worth every heavenly bite!

Angel Food Cupcakes {with Cranberry Whip}

I decided to top my Angel Food Cupcakes with a Cranberry Whip. It’s also very easy to make and light and fluffy so they complimented each other nicely.

I was going for a festive holiday flavor and look so I topped them with some Sugared Cranberries to pull it all together.

Not only were they amazingly delicious,they also looked so pretty sitting on our holiday dessert table. They were the perfect light dessert after eating our big meal.

Ingredients

For the Angel Food Cupcakes

  • 3/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Cake flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 6 Large egg whites ,at room temperature
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3/4 teaspoon Cream of tartar

For the Cranberry Whip

  • 1 ,3 ounce package Cranberry jello gelatin
  • 2 Cup Heavy Cream ,whipped to medium peaks

Instructions

For the Angel Food Cupcakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare cupcake tins with liners and set aside. You should be able to fill about 18-24 tins.
  • In a food processor, pulse sugar until super fine, about 2 minutes (if you don't have a food processor caster sugar should also work).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, sift together half of the sugar, the cake flour and the salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, water, vanilla extract and cream of tartar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Switch to a hand mixer and whip mixture on medium speed while slowly adding remaining sugar to mixture.Continue mixing until medium peaks are formed.
  • Sift just enough of the flour mixture to evenly dust the top of the egg white mixture and use a spatula to gently fold flour into the egg white mixture. Continue until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated.
  • Divide batter among paper lined muffin tins. Fill each cup to nearly full. Bake in preheated oven 15-18 minutes until golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely then top with Cranberry Whip.

For the Cranberry Whip

  • Boil 1 cup of water in a medium sauce pan. Remove from heat and stir in 1 package of cranberry jello until completely dissolved. Place pan in a bowl filled with ice water to speed up cooling process. Once at room temperature place in fridge to slightly set the jello. **(Do not completely set) You just want the jello to begin to get thick and soupy. Check about every 15 minutes. Meantime whip your cream to form medium peaks.
  • Once jello is ready, mix into the whip cream. Place in fridge to chill about 15-20 minutes then place in piping bag with your tip of your choice attached and pipe onto cupcakes.
  • Decorate with sugared cranberries.
