Vegan Angel Food Cake
Ingredients
- - aquafaba If you can’t find, simply drain a can of No Salt Garbanzo beans and whip the juice with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes. Acts as a perfect substitute for egg whites.
- - cream of tartar If you have a hard time finding, look in the bulk section.
- - ground sugar
- - vanilla extract
- - chickpea flour
- - all purpose flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 330 F
- Start with 3/4 cup of aquafaba from a can of chickpeas. Place in a large mixing bowl with 1 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar.
- Beat the aquafaba for 5-6 minutes on high until you get a fluffy merge, then add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the meringue and beat again for another minute until it turns white again.
- Add the powdered sugar slowly, while continuing to beat the meringue on high for another 1-2 minutes. After you have beaten the aquafaba for at least 8 minutes add a tablespoon of garbanzo/chickpea flour and beat for another minute.
- Fold in the flour 1/4 cup at a time until it is all incorporated, but do not over mix. (Once the flour has been added, the meringue will start to deflate.)
- Quickly pour the batter into an ungreased Angel Food Cake pan.
- Bake for 1 hour.
- Allow to cool in the pan. (Do not flip upside down like you would a traditional Angel Food cake.)
- Once it has cooled to room temperature, cut it out of the pan with a large knife.
