A lady from our church on Vancouver Island brought this to potluck and everyone went crazy for it!! It is very good and I love the crunchiness from the walnuts. I wanted to use up about 2 cups of egg whites I had sitting in the fridge....this is a pic of the cake I made today!!

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 c cake flour...i didn't have any so i used organic unbleached white flour
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1 1/2 c egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp maple flavored extract
1 c sugar
3/4 c finely chopped walnuts...i use my slap chopper...works great!!

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together flour and sugar.Set aside. In a large bowl beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar till soft peaks form. Add the vanilla and maple flavoring. Add the sugar a little at a time and beat till stiff. Gradually fold the flour/sugar into egg whites about a 1/4 at a time. Spread half of batter into tube pan and sprinkle with the chopped walnuts. Using a knife cut through to mix in nuts. Add the the rest of the batter. Bake about 35 mins. Cool inverted on a wire rack.
  • 2. There is no need to use any frosting on this cake as it is great without it but I mixed up enough powdered sugar with some milk and about 1/2 tsp maple flavor extract to make a thin drizzle which I did put on the cake. I then sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds. The cake was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out like the picture. It was flat and dense.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dry and the glaze was too sweet.

I'm not usually a fan of angel food cake, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful, and the maple glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

This maple nut angel food cake was a hit at my last dinner party! It was so light and fluffy, with the perfect amount of maple flavor. The nuts added a nice crunch and texture.
