*NOTE: WARNING!!!!!!! THIS IS A "GAG" RECIPE, WHICH WILL ACTUALLY FOAM ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NOT MAKE LEMON ANGELS AT ALL. PENN AND TELLER INTENDED IT TO BE A RECIPE THAT IS USED TO PLAY A JOKE ON SOMEONE. THIS IS NOT A REAL RECIPE!!!

Provided by Food Network

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup milk mixed with 1/4 cup vinegar)
5 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup lemon juice
1 1/4 cups sugar
7/8 cup all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat the egg until foamy. Add buttermilk and vanilla and blend well. Add the baking soda, one teaspoonful at a time, sprinkling it in and beating until the mixture is smooth and the consistency of light cream. Add the lemon juice all at once and blend into the mixture. Stir, do not beat (you want it creamy but without a lot of air). The mixture will congeal into a pasty lump. Scoop it out of the bowl using a spatula and spread it on a floured surface. Sift the flour and 3/4 cup sugar together and use the fingertips to work it into the egg-lemon mixture. With a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/32 inches thick, and with the tip of a sharp knife, cut the 'angel' shapes and twist up the edges to form a shell-like curve about 3/8 inch high. Sprinkle on the remainder of the sugar. Brush each angel with melted butter. Place angels one inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: Use a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom. This will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Prepare the pan properly: Grease and flour the pan thoroughly. This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Beat the egg whites correctly: Whip the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. Over-beating the egg whites will make the cake tough.
  • Fold the ingredients together gently: When folding the egg whites into the batter, do so gently to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Swedish Angel Food cake is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh fruit, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Swedish Angel Food cake is a light, airy, and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. With its delicate flavor and fluffy texture, Swedish Angel Food cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
