Angel food cake is touted as the lighter dessert, right? It’s the treat that people eat when they go on a diet and when paired with fruit, it gets even healthier. So I got to thinking – I bet some of these slices are even less caloric that the thick Italian bread I’d use to make french toast anyway. There is something about this breakfast cake that is making me think I won’t be using bread again anytime soon. In true angel food cake fashion, it’s not like it’s super sweet or anything, so that helps. I don’t add any additional sugar to the egg mixture, which also is beneficial. But the inside? oh my gosh. The outside is your typical crusty french toast but the inside is still your typical light-as-air angel food cake. It’s like biting into a crunchy cloud. And it’s the least-heavy french toast I’ve ever tasted. Which makes a few slices of bacon on the side acceptable. And balanced.

Ingredients

Topping

Fresh mint
Maple syrup
Blueberries
Strawberries
Whipped cream

2-3 tbsp. Butter
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 tbsp. Flour
3/4 cup Milk
3 Large eggs
1 Angel food cake, sliced into 12 pieces

Method

01

Im a measuring cup, whisk flour into a few tablespoons of milk until it’s totally dissolved to create a bit of a slurry. Add back to the rest of the milk.
02

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat. Gently dip each piece of angel food cake into the egg mixture, fully submerging it and covering all the sides. Make sure to let most of the egg drip off. Place a bit of butter in the skillet/griddle, then place cake on it and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. The only additional step here is you want to fry each side, then turn it on it’s “back” and get that thick third end of the cake. Repeat with remaining slices, adding a bit of butter each time.
03

Serve with syrup, berries, whipped cream and fresh mint!
