Kitchen Notes & Tips
- Due to the round shape, it is traditionally cut into a series of wedges before serving. However, there’s a good chance that the pieces will not get the golden brown crust evenly under the broiler if cut like this.
- Carefully slice it into uniform 2-inch wide cuts, working from one side of the cake to the other. Once done, trim the pieces so they are all approximately the same size.
- This recipe can be made with your favorite homemade angel food cake recipe or with the store-bought cake flour mixture. However, if you buy a pre-made cake, look for one that is not packaged inside a disposable baking pan. The exterior of cakes sold like this tends to be very sticky, which makes them more difficult to slice. Look for one that is packaged with just plastic wrap around it for protection, instead.
Ingredients for Angel Food Cake

How To Make an Angel Food Cake?
Step #1. In a large bowl, blend 1 pint of heavy whipped cream with a hand or immersion blender until it doubles in size and changes texture. Drizzle maple syrup and vanilla extract into the glass bowl and continue blending until the mixture is light and fluffy. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step #2. Place your oven’s top rack on the second highest setting and turn the broiler on “High.” Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
Step #3. Place the angel food cake slices on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Turn over each piece and repeat on the other side.
Step #4. Place the baking sheet under the broiler until the angel food cake turns golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Additional Tips
- You may need to rotate the baking sheet to get uniform results. Keep a very close eye on the cake during this time because it can burn very quickly.
- Once toasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn over each slice. Place back under the broiler and toast the remaining side until golden brown. approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step #5. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Get a sharp knife to cut it and arrange the toasted slices on individual serving plates. Top each piece of angel food cake with some maple whipped cream and fresh berries then serve immediately. Enjoy!
