When I saw Pumpkin Angel Food Cake in Around Grandma's Table (Have you figured out that this is my favorite cookbook right now?) I honestly thought that the combination of pumpkin and angel food cake wouldn't mesh.
But I have tried it - and found a new family favorite! The recipe calls for a cake mix, but since I am overloaded with eggs right now, I made the angel food cake from scratch. I didn't get the pumpkin mixed in perfectly which resulted in a cake that looked marbled. I liked the affect!
Pumpkin Angel Food Cake
from Around Grandma's Table
16 oz. angel food cake mix (or from-scratch angel food cake batter)
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp ginger
In bowl, combine pumpkin, vanilla, and spices. Prepare cake mix according to directions. Fold a forth of the batter into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in remaining batter. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10" tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
This sounds wonderful. I've made pineapple angel food cake and it was good so Pumpkin angel food cake has got to be delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe~
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog for the past few months and I'm finally brave enough to comment on all your wonderful recipes and life adventures that your share. Thank you so much.

ReplyDeleteYummm!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had read your post before I made dessert today. I would have made this. I made pumpkin bars instead. Oh well, maybe next time. God bless.
ReplyDeleteYou would think the thick pumpkin would keep the cake from rising so high. This would be an excellent addition to the Thanksgiving pie table, for those people that ate maybe just a little too much turkey.
ReplyDeleteJeri- I thought too that the angel food cake would not rise well, but it was still light and fluffy.
