    Recipe Tips

    This recipe is easy to make if you know the right tips and tricks! Here are our tips for ensuring your Angel Food Cupcakes come out perfectly.

    Non-Stick Spray

    Angel food cake has the tendency to stick to pans. Therefore, spray both the muffin tin(s) and the cupcake liners with non-stick spray before filling them with batter.

    Fill the Liners ¾

    Fill the liners ¾ of the way with the cupcake batter. The angel food cake will rise beyond the top of the liners during baking.

    Toppings

    This recipe uses whipped topping and fresh blueberries to top the cupcakes. You can substitute the whipped topping for real whipped cream if you wish. You could also top with strawberries, raspberries, or dark chocolate shavings.

    Last but not least, you could omit the toppings all together and have yourself plain cupcakes. That's a good choice too!

    Storage

    Angel Food Cupcakes can be stored at room temperature and in the freezer. Just be sure to store them without the topping in either case. Below are instructions for each storage method:

    Room Temperature

    Place unfrosted cupcakes into an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Frozen

    Wrap unfrosted cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap or a ziplock freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible. Place in the freezer and store for up to 3 months.

    Defrosting

    Frozen Angel Food Cupcakes can be defrosted by removing them from the freezer and placing them at room temperature for a couple of hours or overnight.

    Alternatively, you can remove them from the plastic wrap and microwave at 50% power for about 1 minute.

    Equipment

    • 24-count cupcake pan
    • conventional oven
    • mixing bowl
    • cupcake liners
    • non-stick spray

    Ingredients

    • 1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
    • 1 ¼ cups water
    • 16 ounce whipped topping
    • 1 cup blueberries

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
    • Add liners. Spray cupcake pan and liners with non-stick spray.
    • In a large bowl, whisk boxed cake mix and water until fully combined. The batter will be fluffy and foamy.
    • Use a large ice cream scoop to add batter to liners. Fill about ¾ of the way.
    • Bake for 8-12 minutes on the center oven-rack. They should be slightly golden brown and springy. These can be a little tricky and might require more baking time. So, be sure to keep an eye on them. A toothpick tested on the inside should come out clean and cakes will puff back when gently pressed.
    • Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.
    • Pipe on whipped topping and add 3-4 berries to each. Complete the look with a tiny bit of powdered sugar sprinkled on each (optional). Enjoy!
