Lemon Angel Food Cupcakes


Have you made angel food cupcakes yet? If not, then put these on the top of your to make list. They’ll definitely brighten up these cold and cloudy winter days, not to mention they taste Heavenly!
These lemon cupcakes probably seem totally out of place right now as we are all so focused on the holidays and seasonal baking, but I thought a break from the holiday baking would be nice. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the fall flavors but I wanted to switch to something more bright and summery. It might have something to do with this never ending cold I have (and how I keep craving citrus).

The texture of these cupcakes is delicately airy and light which pairs so well with the fresh and tart lemon flavor. And don’t even get me started on the topping for these cupcakes. Let’s just say it takes a lot of strength not to just sit there and eat the whole bowl of it by the heaping spoonful before you even begin to top any of the cupcakes. Thanks to the addition of the cream cheese and lemon in the whipped cream it’s almost like a lemon cheesecake (and we all know how much I love cheesecake).
Homemade angel food cupcakes are much better than those angel food cakes that you’d buy at the grocery store, so I’d highly recommend trying these at least once (then of course you’ll be hooked for life, which is always my goal. To get you hooked :). Enjoy!

Lemon Angel Food Cupcakes
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Yield: 14 - 16 cupcakes
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cake flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 egg whites, at room temperature*
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp warm water
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Topping
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp lemon extract, to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Lemon slices and pomegranate arils, for decorating (optional)
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse sugar until super fine, about 2 minutes (if you don't have a food processor caster sugar should also work). In a mixing bowl, sift together half of the sugar, the cake flour and the salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg whites, water, lemon extract, lemon zest and cream of tartar until well combined, about 2 minutes. Switch to a hand mixer and whip mixture on medium speed while slowly adding remaining sugar to mixture, until medium peaks form (scrape off zest from blenders if it stuck. Mine did so I scrapped it off and rubbed it along the sides of a bowl with a rubber spatula to separate the pieces then folded it in with along with the next step). Sift just enough of the flour mixture in to evenly dust the top of the egg white mixture and using a spatula gently fold flour layer into egg white mixture and continue this process until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated (I did this in probably 12 batches).
  • Divide batter among paper lined muffin cups, filling each cup nearly full. Bake in preheated oven 18 - 20 minutes until golden and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely then spread Cream Cheese Whipped Cream over cupcakes just before serving and garnish with lemon slices and pomegranate seeds if desired.
  • For the Cream Cheese Whipped Cream Topping:
  • In a mixing bowl whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese along with lemon extract and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese to whipped cream along with powdered sugar and whip until stiff peaks form (scrape off zest from blenders if it stuck and add to mixture). Store in refrigerator.
  • *I'd recommend working with one egg in a bowl at a time to separate the yolk and white, then pour that separated white into the mixing bowl and continue that process with remaining eggs. I do this simply in case one of the yolks breaks and gets into the whites then you'll only have to toss out 1 egg and not all of them if you can't get the yolk out. You don't want even 1 drop of egg yolk in the cake mixture or it can prevent the whites from whipping to stiff peaks.
