Angel Food Cupcakes with Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries

It's time for Foodie Extravaganza......

Camilla of Culinary Cam is hosting our event this month and asked us to post recipes to help our readers celebrate National Cupcake Lover's Day on June 13th.  Let's take a look at what the others are sharing.....

Angel Food Cupcakes

I made up these cupcakes to serve at our Memorial Day gathering.  I whipped up some cream and placed out a bowl of Raspberries and Blueberries in keeping with the Red White and Blue theme and allowed guests to add their own toppings.

Angel Food Cupcakes

They would be perfect for Independence Day as well.  Of course, you can always use strawberries and serve up a lightened version of Strawberry Shortcake.

    1. I think if I make them again I will smooth the tops before baking.

  2. I have never made an angel food cake. Because cooking it upside down is intimidating. But I would definitely make these. Thanks for joining me.
