    Angel Food Cake with Yolks – the Recipe uses Just 3 Whole Eggs!

    By Alisa Fleming on June 19, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    One of my favorite naturally dairy-free desserts is angel food cake. It’s tender, a little airy, delightfully sweet, and a perfect way to showcase fresh fruit. It’s best when home baked, but it requires a whole carton of eggs, and leaves you with a dozen yolks to use up. This angel food cake with yolks is a great solution. It uses just three whole eggs, yolks and all. It’s light and fluffy, like typical angel food cake, and bakes up almost as tall.

    The recipe is ever-so-slightly adapted from Allrecipes, and is dubbed “Gone with the Wind Cake.” It’s pretty straight forward, but I do have some tips and notes to help ensure the best results.

    • Mixer: Believe it or not, you can make this angel food cake with yolks without a mixer, but I don’t recommend it unless you are looking for a serious arm workout. It works well with a hand mixer, but if you have a stand mixer, this is a great time to pull it out! The extended whipping of both the yolks and the white separately is what helps to give this cake some extra lift.
    • Cake Flour: This type of flour is lighter and lower protein than all-purpose flour, which helps to avoid cake that is too chewy. If you don’t have any cake flour on hand, you can substitute 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour + 1/4 cup cornstarch.
    • Cream of Tartar: Unlike most angel food cake recipes, this one doesn’t require any cream of tartar. But if you are concerned about the stability of the egg whites, you can add a 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar before whipping.
    • Alternate Cake Pans: You can baked this angel food cake with yolks in other types of pans, like loaf pans. Just make sure to fill the pan(s) only halfway, to allow the cake room to rise. Also, keep an eye on the cake as it might need more or less baking time, depending on the pan. If using a pan with a large base, like a cake pan, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom before pouring in the batter.
    • Serving: This angel food cake with yolks is delicious with fresh berries and powdered sugar, dairy-free lemon curd, or dairy-free whipped cream. It’s also a great base for strawberry shortcake!

    This cake comes out so light and fluffy, and is quite close to a classic angel food cake. But it uses just 3 eggs, and you don't have to waste the yolks! Please note that the prep time is hands-on time only. The cake does need ample cooling time before it is served.
