How can I doctor up an angel food cake mix?!


Question: How can I doctor up an angel food cake mix?
I am so tired of plain angel food cake. What can I add to make it different? I don't care if it doesn't have the classic angel food cake texture. I welcome ideas for glazes and icings too. I have the following:

white and chocolate chips
pudding mixes(chocolate, vanilla)
instant coffee powder
cocoa
hot chocolate drink mix
poppy seeds(ground)
candied and Maraschino cherries
flake coconut
pecans
lemons and oranges
hazelnut syrup
condensed milk
chocolate milk
evaporated milk

Answers:

Bake your cake as usual and then cut a inch or two from the top (save ) and then hollow out a tunnel from the center and fill with either strawberries and Jello or strawberries mixed with cool whip. Put the top back on and then ice with cool whip.



I like to take the Angel Food cake mix and mix it up according to the recipe but change out some of the water for juice from a can of fruit (like pears or peaches). I chop of the fruit and drop it into the batter, folding it in. Then I bake the cake in a sheetcake pan rather than an angelfood pan. Once it's done and cooled, you can mix together instant pudding and Cool Whip and spread that over the top of the cake, placing some slices of fruit where each slice of cake will have a piece. For instance, a peach slice on each. I cut the peach slices much thinner so one slice will go on 3 pieces of cake.

Hope that helps.



DO NOT ADD ANYTHING THAT IS OILY TO ANGEL FOOD!!

I add different extracts, candy sprinkles, like the cake sprinkles, lemon custard powder that does not have any oil in it, chocolate and other chips coconut , lemon and orange zests,

actually plain angel cake is best then you can put stuff on it when serving!!

use the angel for base for putting fruits over, for putting sauces and syrups over, for putting ice cream and other stuff with.

Do not make the mistake I made not so long ago!! I put a cup of maraschino cherries in one and used the liquid from the cherries as the liquid for beating the angel cake!! This thing fell out of the pan while cooling and we put it in bowls and poured syrups over it to eat it, sweetened condensed milk was great on this horrid looking mess!



You could put butter cleam in it using the cocia or a white chocolate frosting by melting the chips and adding melted butter maybe some sugar. You could put the cherries on top. Or you could add lemon jouce and rind to add flavor and maybe top with some lemon glace made out of sugar milk and lemon.
