Can i make an angel food cake using springform pan or other round pan?
Actually, i don't have an angel food pan yet, so i'm wondering if i can make an angel cake using other pans...what are the difference in using these pans?
Answers:
No. Angel food cake rises very high, and you need a tall pan to contain it. If you put it in a shallow pan it will overflow and you'll be cleaning crud out of your oven for days.
When you do get a proper pan it should have a bottom and center that lifts out of the sides. The sides should have legs on the top. After an angel food cake comes out of the oven, you need to cool it upside down. If the pan has these legs you can turn it upside down and rest it on the legs. If it doesn't have them, you'll need to put the pan on a bottle (through the hole in the center of the pan) and that can be tricky. If you don't cool it upside down, it will sink as it cools and you'll have a dense cake - NOT "angel food."

I understand
BUT
cooking is an adventure - experiment
the spring form is 2inches right
It may raise really high???
Put foil down to catch any drips...
i think it needs that middle hole/vent thingy to help it rise. can you put an empty can in the middle instead, maybe. i would try that or to make a ring out of foil.
Yu should be able to make it in any pan that is tall enough.
If you have a couple of loaf pans that would be ideal.
Don't over fill the pan as it will rise and spill over. You are likely to end up with a rather cake size looking angl food if you use a pan that is cake pan size.
Do you have a coffee can or something like that you could use?
Getting it out of a "straight" pan is not easy. You'll end up tearing it up. An "tube" pan (not a BUNDT pan and not a springform pan) is two parts and the bottom slides off so you can remove the cake much easier.
yes you can, but it may be hard to remove from pan.
