Steps:
- Tear the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes (into a large bowl).
- With your fingers, tear the cream cheese into small pieces (into the same bowl).
- Add the Cool Whip.
- Toss "gently", you don't want to break up the angel food cake too much but still tastes great if you do.
- Turn cake mixture into a 13x9-inch casserole dish and top with the cherry pie filling.
- Refrigerate until ready to eat.
- Servings are approximate.
- Original recipe called for 1 can of topping but I always use 2.
Tips:
- Ensure accurate measurements: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially flour and sugar, to achieve the perfect consistency and texture.
- Handle egg whites with care: Separate egg whites and yolks while they are cold, as cold egg whites whip up better. Make sure there is no yolk in the egg whites, as any fat residue can prevent them from whipping properly.
- Whip egg whites gradually: Start whipping the egg whites on low speed and gradually increase the speed as they begin to foam. This helps incorporate air and create stiff peaks, resulting in a light and fluffy angel food cake.
- Fold ingredients gently: When combining the whipped egg whites with the rest of the batter, use a spatula and fold gently to avoid deflating the egg whites. This folding motion helps maintain the air incorporated during whipping, resulting in a tender and airy cake.
- Bake in a non-stick tube pan: Use a non-stick tube pan to ensure the cake doesn't stick and comes out easily. Grease the pan lightly with cooking spray or butter to further prevent sticking.
- Invert the cake after baking: Immediately after baking, invert the cake pan onto a wire rack and let it cool upside down. This helps prevent the cake from collapsing due to its delicate texture.
Conclusion:
Creating a delicious and low-fat cherry angel food cake requires careful attention to detail and a few key techniques. By following the tips and steps outlined in this article, you can achieve a light, fluffy, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. Remember to use fresh cherries for the filling and topping to enhance the overall taste and texture of the cake. With a bit of patience and precision, you can impress your friends and family with this delightful low-fat cherry angel food cake.
