angel food cake?

[blissfulE]

My dad's birthday is coming up the end of this month, and he and my mum will be here visiting. Angel Food is his favourite cake.

My mum has offered to bring a box mix like she uses, and I need to know in the next couple days whether that will be necessary. Anyone have a good recipe??

I couldn't find one in an English speaking country when I googled this one blissfulE but here you will find a few from other countries which have a translation available.  Check them out and see if you can still understand the instructions.

Thank you so much, Earth Mumma! I thought a Thermomix recipe might be too much to hope for, but you've saved the day!

Hi cornish cream.  I'm not sure if I can post it in the cakes section as I haven't asked Josie if that's ok (I don't know her!!).  Happy for it to go there if you don't think this is cause for worry.  Cheers

Just to follow up, I had never seen a recipe for angel food cake that called for using yolks. My dad shouldn't have many yolks because of his cholesterol, so I decided to convert a highly-rated recipe from AllRecipes.com instead of using Josie's.

Here is a link to the recipe in the Cakes section: http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7187.0

It was a lot of fun to make, and so moist. Thermie makes me look like a good cook.

About 25 years ago I made a Devils Food Cake, wonder what the difference is between an Angel and a Devil? Could the Angel have no calories

Yep definitely No calories. (I will keep telling myself this when I am eating my 4th helping lol)
