Angel food cake has always been a favorite dessert of mine, so I decided to make a vegan angel food cake version! This cake is all you have dreamed about and even more. I prepare this on every occasion I get. Notes An angel food cake is challenging enough to prepare, however, a vegan one is an even larger challenge. To ensure that this version turns great for you, I suggest that you read the whole article. It’s best to spare 10 minutes extra than to waste every penny and second make something that fails. Is This Vegan Angel Food Cake Worth Your Time and Energy? If you are on the hunt for a plant-based alternative to this divine sweet cake, this recipe is totally worth it. Similar to its original counterpart it has: -A greatly fluffy texture and fine taste -Lower calories compared to the real thing -Lower fat-one 1g of fat/slice You also need only 20 minutes to prepare it, despite the several steps involved in making it. Ingredients for Making Vegan Angel Food Cake: This recipe requires only six ingredients and therefore it’s best to measure these with caution and do not use any replacements if possible. Follow the recipe to a T! Aquafaba: a liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas that is a great replacement for egg whites. If you whip it up, it will become the best vegan “meringue”. Cream of tartar: this an acid substance that helps set aquafaba when beaten. Ground sugar: beat the regular sugar granules in a food processor or blender until finely dissolved into fine powder. Vanilla extract: for extra aroma and flavor Chickpea flour: a typical vegan egg replacer that helps set the meringue. All-purpose flour: use just one cup and tbsp of all-purpose flour passed through a sifter. Pin Ingredients: -¾ cup aquafaba (the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas) -1 tbsp vanilla extract -1 cup & 1 tbsp all-purpose flour -1 cup granulated sugar -1 tbsp chickpea flour 1 ½ tsp cream of tartar Instructions: Preheat your oven at 330F/165C. Beat the granulated sugar into fine sugar in a blender or food processor. Place ¾ cup of aquafaba liquid into a big mixing bowl with vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Whip for 6 minutes minimum with a hand mixer initially on low and then slowly at higher speed. Incorporate the powdered sugar gradually in several parts while beating up the meringue on high speed for a couple of minutes. Once you have beaten the aquafaba for 8 minutes at least, grab a tbsp of the chickpea flour and beat for an extra minute or so. In three increments, gradually sift the flour combo into the egg mix through a mesh strainer, while carefully folding in with a rubber spatula after every part. To prevent any shrinking and loss of cake volume, don’t add the flour mixture in one part. Add gradually in multiple increments. Place and spread the batter into an unprepared 9X10” cake tubular pan. Shake the pan on a flat surface to even out the bottom. Bake your vegan angel cake until you add a toothpick and it turns out clean, for approx. 45-50 minutes. Take off the oven and let cool (while it’s still in the pan) for 2-3 hours. Once it’s cooled down, pass a small knife around the edges to gently detach the cake from the pan. If you wish, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Serve with fresh berries on top and a small part of vegan whipping cream.

So it's almost 2014- when did that happen?? Man what a year, huh? I don't really do resolutions per say, but every year I make a to-do list and set one challenge (which is actually a goal but I'm really competitive and more likely to do it if it is called something that involves winning). My to-do list is extremely Type-A and not very interesting or relevant, so for now let's discuss my challenge. Or goal. Or whatever we want to call it. Choal? Goallenge? Anyway my goal/challenge for 2014 is an entire year of 80/20 Clean Eating- aka 80% of the food I consume in 2014 will be completely clean. The other 20%, for me, is cheat days but that 20% means something different for different people. So anyway, who's with me? We doing this or what? Let's CLEAN UP 2014! Here are some resources I have pulled together: The 10 Commandments of Clean Eating Sample Grocery List: Not that but THIS! list Meal Plans & Grocery Lists with Pricing: Clean Eating: Most Frequently Asked Questions 90 Day Clean Eating Meal Plan with Recipes Week 1 Clean Eating Meal Plan with Recipes, Grocery List, and Prices Week 2 Clean Eating Meal Plan with Recipes, Grocery List and Prices Week 3 Clean Eating Meal Plan with Recipes, Grocery List and Prices Week 4 Clean Eating Meal Plan with Recipes, Grocery List and Prices My Favorite Clean Swaps: 7- Layer Lasagna "Bread"sticks made with Cauliflower Buffalo Chicken Wraps Buffalo Chicken Wings Cauliflower Crust Pizza Crispy Sweet Potato Chips Eggplant Parm Faux Fried Chicken Fingers "Fried" Okra Italian Meatballs Mozzarella Sticks Ravioli Squasta with Meat Sauce (Spaghetti Swap) Stuffed Potato Skins 4 Ways (Greek, Pizza, Buffalo Chicken and Chili) Sweet Potato French Fries Turkey Chili {with a kick} Check out all my clean recipes here.
