I have never done it in a Pyrex pan. The ungreased and rougher surface gives the batter something to cling to when it climbs during rising. I think a smooth, glassy surface might cause it to drop again, but I can't say for sure.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-51387774930440866792021-10-10T13:26:15.444+01:002021-10-10T13:26:15.444+01:00I so want to try this beautiful small cake.

(I've never made one before.) My husband's birthday is this weekend, and has requested a full-sized angel food cake. I've purchased a 10 inch tube pan. I'd like to stick with your recipe, because it worked so well for me. Can I just double the recipe here, and put it into the 10inch tube pan? If so, how long should I bake it?

It is satisfying to make because it requires some good technical skills. But I feel confident because I have my grandmothers tin. From scratch. It is difficult to make proper cakes in the UK because of issues with flour and sugar, as well as recipes that add absolutely no salt. So bland. Cakes so rough. My cupcakes the kids take to school now here in the UK are always a hit. <br /><br />The 1/4 teaspoon for the half recipe here though seems like a lot, but I will give it a go as it is nice to have smaller portions. dazzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594796408210592374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-80782772688087895602020-02-27T09:28:47.077+00:002020-02-27T09:28:47.077+00:00I know what you mean Pam, but its just not a cake ...I know what you mean Pam, but its just not a cake that people embrace here in the UK. We are very traditional in our makes and bakes. Cakes are much sturdier and people don't really do cake mixes, instead preferring to bake from scratch. Its just the way it is! I love this cake with berries. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-63806206517041878002020-02-26T21:16:06.797+00:002020-02-26T21:16:06.797+00:00I was shocked the other year when watching an epis...I was shocked the other year when watching an episode of The Great British Bakeoff to see that only one contestant had even heard of an angel food cake and none had made one. It was the technical challenge that day. Now THIS challenge I would have aced. However this fact was SO shocking for someone in the states because this cake is made, whether from scratch or boxed, almost as much as an average yellow cake. This is one cake when made from the boxed mix which is ALMOST just as good as scratch. It is not considered "cheating" to use the box mix. I have to say though, this cake is SO loved in my family that the thought of even making one with only two servings is unthinkable. However maybe for a gift for one person it might be a good idea to have this side. I have the most delicious chocolate light mousse "frosting" a friend used to cover an angel food cake then placed fresh strawberries around the base and a few on top which makes an outstanding dessert for a function, especially a lady's function. I first saw this cake of hers at a Longaberger Show I was presenting. However, the guys in my family, while they'll eat the cake with the chocolate mousse frosting, they seriously prefer it just plain. And if it weren't for my dad's diabetes, he would eat half a cake in one sitting. As he used to say, "well its almost all air!" That's his excuse. Obviously though, he doesn't do this any longer. But this is in the top 5 cakes the family in general loves. And to think, people so close to our culture never heard of it, well it leaves us speechless. basketpamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415021707270685050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-78212336093478833552020-02-26T15:14:06.223+00:002020-02-26T15:14:06.223+00:00It truly is the perfect size Jeanie!

I've been wanting to make one of this since I saw it featured as a Technical Challenge on the recent series of "The Great American Baking Show", but was put off by the need for a specialised tin. This is perfect! I'm going to try it on the weekend - I was so fascinated by the snow white colour. I'll let you know how it goes.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.com
