Time 40m

Yield 24 pieces, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (16 ounce) package angel food cake mix
1 (20 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Tips for Baking a Perfect Cherry Angel Food Cake:

- Use fresh egg whites at room temperature, as they whip up better and create a lighter texture. - Whip the egg whites gradually, starting at low speed and increasing to high as they begin to foam. - Add the sugar slowly, a little at a time, while continuing to whip the egg whites. - Make sure your baking pan is clean and free of grease, as any residue can cause the cake to stick. - Do not grease the baking pan, as this can also cause the cake to stick. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven, as this will help it rise evenly. - Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting, as this will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Cherry angel food cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create a light and fluffy cake with a delicate flavor that is sure to please everyone.
