      Tane it’s super easy to whip cream by hand. Just make sure everything is ice cold. Put your bowl and whisk in the freezer for about half an hour and use just a couple teaspoons of powdered sugar to lightly sweeten it when you’re whipping it. The cornstarch will help stabilize the cream so that it doesn’t go flat within a few minutes after it’s made.

    I'm in my 70s, and I think of angel food cake as something from the 1950s.
    Perhaps that means that it's actually timeless.

    • @lestranged
      @lestranged 5 лет назад +58

      It did have a resurgence in the 90's because it has no butter or oil. That was the era when fat was considered bad but carbs were perfectly fine, so angel food cake was an allowed "cheat" food on those low fat diets.

    • @lestranged
      @lestranged 5 лет назад +48

      Oh and also egg yolks were "bad" because cholesterol. So you saw a lot of recipes just using the whites, egg-white omelets were popular, etc. It was just basically the opposite of today when carbs are the designated "bad" food. In 20 years we will look back on this current keto fad with the same "wtf were they thinking?".

      Remember bundt cake? You had to buy special bundt pans (I hope I am spelling that right) that were sort of like angel food pans but more rounded and fluted, and always non-stick. It was a sort of moist dense pudding-y cake with drizzled glaze. Nobody makes bundt cake any more or even remembers it.
