Angel Food [Cup]Cake[s]

Last night during our community's celebration for the 12th day of Ridván - the day on which Bahá'u'lláh departed from the Garden of Ridván - Suzy brought out the best dessert I've had in quite some time.  Not that the other desserts I've been eating have been bad...I just loved the balance of the treats.  It was such a simple dessert: white cake + strawberries + raspberries + whipped cream.  So light, sweet, and heavenly.  When I went grocery shopping today, I just had to stop by the baking section to check out white cake vs. angel food cake.  I decided I was craving angel food cake (even though the box was $1.50 more) and settled a box of Betty Crocker in my cart.

Right before I started making the mix (you just add water), I noticed a recipe for cupcakes on the side of the box.  Cupcakes are definitely a better way for me to keep track of how much I'm eating.  By my calculations, the box makes 54 cupcakes...which means 31kcal per cupcake!  Hallelujah I found a delicious, low kcal treat!  Of course, that's if I get 54 cupcakes out of it.  My first round didn't go so well.  I think I filled some of them a bit too full and I had the rack in the middle.  All in all, they are tasty; therefore: me = not complaining.





Note: never taste Angel Food Cake batter.  Disgusting. 

I love my Wilton silicone baking cups, but this was a disaster to clean.
Normally I don't have so much trouble.

Now I understand why they say to put the rack at the lowest level...
