Ingredients

Cake:

  • 12 egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • Fresh mint sprigs

Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Special equipment: a 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan

Directions

For the cake: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle the flour over the egg white mixture. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the flour until incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and a skewer inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall of the pan comes out clean. Invert the pan on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

For the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour into a serving pitcher.

Using a spatula, loosen the cake around the sides and middle. Release the cake and place on a serving plate. Cut into slices and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and mint sprigs.

    Not a fan of this cake. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't good either. If I am going to take the time to make something from scratch it better be worth the work and this cake just wasn't worth the time. My cake was also dense and I followed recipe exactly. I was expecting something light with a hint of lemon and instead I had a dense flavorless cake that no one wanted to eat. I did not care for the sauce either as the honey overpowered every other flavor. I will not be making this again.

    The cake came out dense and chewy instead of light and fluffy like other angel food cake that I've had.
    I did everything as per the directions!
    I made the yogurt sauce with greek yogurt, which came out pretty good.
    However, I will probably not make this recipe again, due to the cake texture.

    This was just amazing. Better then any angel food cake. You really can't mess this up. Instead of the yogurt sauce I stewed some berries and with raspberry blueberries and strawberrys and it became a tasty sauce with fruit and some whipped cream. It was a hit in my house!
