This was my first go at making a proper angel food cake and I was super pleased with the perfect fluff and texture. It was so smooth and had such a fantastic flavour. I usually opt for the simple pre-made ones at the grocery store baking shops... nevermore! If I can do this, anyone can do this! Do give this treat a try.

I need a diabetic Angel food cake recipe. Can anyone help me?
Jay from Laurel, Delaware
I just bought a box of Splenda to use in baking for diabetics. It says you can substitute 1part Splenda for 1 part sugar. I don't see why you can't use it instead of sugar for your regular Angle Food cake recipe..
I also noticed at another grocery store a "sugar substitute for baking" product but I can't remember what it's called.
Angel Food Cake sounds good, I think I'll make one for my Seniors I work with at a nursing home.
You won't find a recipe for "diabetic" Angel Food Cake - it is made with highly processed white flour which is very high G.I. Diabetics need to eat complex carbohydrates such as wholemeal flour with added whole grains (such as multi-grain bread).
Although angel food cake is a high glycemic food, it is the least problematic of the cakes. It is usually served without frosting and has absloutely no fat. Portion control is the way to go . Ask your nutritionist or diabetic educator how to work it into your eating plan for special occasions.
Sorry, you are not going to find a substitute for this. Make the Betty Crocker one and eat what would be measured for the unit you are allowed. The falacy of eating "diabetic or non-diabetic foods/candy" is not a funny subject. This is not how the diabetic teaching is now done. Even 'diabetic' foods have content that must be measured the same way as any food consumption. A carb, fat, protein all has the same calories no matter what food substance it is in. You learn to live within your calories and carbs allowed.
I am making an angel-food cake. I see that it is often made using pineapple. Can I use any kind of canned fruit, and do I drain it?
Try drained mandarin oranges.
Whatever they suggest for pineapple, do for the other fruit.
There are so many ways to make this lovely summer cake!
Are you making a scratch cake (most canned fruits will work but most recipes call for them to be drained)?
If you are making a box mix, it varies. Some say to drain, some say don't drain.
This one is a hybrid and tells you NOT to drain and to add more liquid: food.unl.edu/
Post back the finished cake! YUM!!!
You can use anything. It's so fun to experiment. If the recipe says drained, then drain. IF it says "with juices" then do not.
I am looking for a recipe for black raspberry twirl angel food cake.
By Beverly Ament from Lewistown, PA
Here is a similar recipe, it might be the one you are looking for. I would just add black raspberries, blackberries or black raspberry jam.
