Equipment
Electric Mixer
Cupcake Pan
Ingredients
- 1 box Angel Food Cake
- 1 ⅓ cups water
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- fresh berries for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 32-36 cupcake pans with cupcake liners.
- Add cake mix and water to a large bowl and mix together with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for another 1 minute.
- Divide the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, about ⅔ full. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops are golden and are no longer sticky to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack until completely cool.
- To make the whipped topping, add ingredients to a bowl and whip until stiff peaks form. Top cupcakes with whipped cream and fresh berries.
Notes
- Skip Greasing the Liners: Whatever you do, don't grease your cupcake liners! The batter needs to stick to the sides so it can rise properly.
- Beat the Batter Like You Mean It: Angel food cake is all about being light and fluffy, so don't stop mixing until you see a ton of air bubbles in the batter. This is one of those (rare) times when over-mixing isn't a bad thing—get that air in there!
- Keep the Cream Cold: Cold cream whips faster and holds better. Pop your heavy cream in the fridge until you're ready to use it, and if your kitchen is hot, chill the bowl and beaters too.
- Pipe Like a Boss: To make your whipped cream look as amazing as it tastes, use a piping bag with a star tip. Start at the edge of the cupcake and swirl inward. Don't have a piping bag? Use a sturdy plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Been there, done that.
