This heavenly angel food cake is a treat for you to fully enjoy and indulge in on special occasions!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On a sweltering hot day in July, I dirtied every mixing bowl, mixing spoon, measuring spoon and more in my kitchen to make a mouth watering angel food cake with every ounce of the traditional flavor you\u2019d expect. But there\u2019s one fabulous twist to this recipe: it\u2019s gluten free!<\/span><\/p>\n

The master minds at Vermont company King Arthur Flour created a recipe for <\/span>Gluten Free Angel Food Cake<\/span><\/a>, and I tried to follow it as perfectly as I could. We dressed it up with whipped cream (of course), strawberries, and blueberries. The red, white, and blue combo made this the perfect dessert for celebrating the 4th of July!<\/span><\/p>\n

I confess that I do not have advanced baking skills. I do love to bake and cook (and especially to eat), but I gravitate toward simple and quick recipes. This one felt like quite a departure from my norm. The recipe instructions said not to skip steps that \u201cmight seem excessive in this time-challenged era,\u201d so I didn\u2019t! I stuck to the steps and vowed to enjoy the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While I won\u2019t repeat <\/span>King Arthur\u2019s Gluten Free Angel Food Cake recipe<\/span><\/a> since I followed it as precisely as I could, I\u2019ll share a few notes here on the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gluten Free Flour<\/h2>\n

I found <\/span>King Arthur\u2019s Gluten Free Flour<\/span><\/a> in my local grocery store, and <\/span>you can also order it online<\/span><\/a> (you can get a coupon just for signing up for the company\u2019s email list). I used their Measure for Measure Flour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some years ago, my husband and I attended a cooking demonstration by King Arthur, where the chef taught us a tip I\u2019ll pass along. Before measuring your flour, <\/span>use the handle of your mixing spoon to fluff the flour.<\/b> This will make your measurements more accurate and create a less dense cake (or loaf of bread or whatever you\u2019re making). It also avoids wasting flour that you don\u2019t actually need to use in the recipe.<\/span>
