The sister & family are in town this week, having driven all the way from Colorado. Woohoo! To celebrate I attempted to make my first angel food cake. Lots of egg whites. Lots of powdered sugar. Lots of sifting. Other than that, not that bad. A bit more high maintenance than I like, but it was all cool. Here is a hint, though, watch the cake in the oven, because I have a feeling it tends to bake much quicker than it’s supposed to. I took this cake out just a little bit before the suggested time (40 – 45 minutes), and still I feel I was a little late in doing so. Next time I will take it out even earlier. Yes, there will be a next time with this cake, even though the husband is not a fan of AFC. Can you believe it? That’s cool. More cake for me …

See, I should have taken it out of the oven earlier … it’s browner than I’d like it to be. Also, it was quite the sticky thing, not wanting to come out of its pan. BTW, we received an AFC pan for our wedding (yes, I did register for one and no, I don’t believe the husband mentioned he didn’t like AFC when we registered for it). It was still NIB until this week. The wedding was, yes, four years ago!

The cake, with a homemade cherry sauce on the side (a bit too sweet, next time I’ll cut the sugar amount in half or something) and some low-fat Cool Whip topping. I never buy that stuff, but hey, I’m still on vacation!
