Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:32 Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
00:41 In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cake flour, and corn starch; set aside.
01:41 In a large (completely clean, dry, and grease-free) bowl mixing bowl, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, vanilla and almond extracts, and salt. Use an electric mixer to beat on low-speed until combined.
04:24 Slowly increase mixer speed to high, and once on high speed gradually add the granulated sugar, 1 Tablespoon at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds between Tablespoons.
04:58 Beat until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be thick, glossy, sticky, and increased in volume. If you lift your beaters out of the batter, the peak that forms should hold its shape and not fold over or recede.
05:41 Add cake flour/sugar mixture and use a spatula to gently fold ingredients together until combined. Avoid over-mixing.
06:54 Divide batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, it is fine to overfill the liners, they will be very full.
09:23 Bake cupcakes on the center rack of your 375F (190C) oven for 16 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched, and any cracks on the surface look dry.
09:40 Turn off the oven and open the door several inches. Allow cupcakes to cool for 15-20 minutes in the oven before removing to cool completely in the cupcake tins.
10:13 Once cooled, carefully remove cupcakes. If desired, prepare whipped cream for topping.
Whipped Cream
Combine heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
11:11 Dollop or pipe frosting over cupcakes. Serve immediately.
Notes
Cake flour
You may substitute all-purpose flour, you will need 55g or measure out ½ cup and then remove 1 Tablespoon.
Whipped cream
Add whipped cream to cupcakes only just before serving.
Storing.
Store un-frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. After frosting: Cupcakes won’t keep as well after whipped cream has been added, but you could store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Liners
The cupcake liners support the cupcakes, once removed from the liners they will slowly begin to sink in on themselves, so leave in the wrappers when serving.

When Life Gives You Lemons, Bake a Heavenly Angel Cake | The Fast Metabolism Diet
Get your ingredients and recipe list for my Lemon Angel Cake here:
I have a motto: If I bake it, my metabolism can take it! But if I’m going to splurge, it’s not going to be mindless munching on packaged junk food, so if I didn’t take the time to bake it, then we try to not have that dessert in our home.
I feel that what we bake in our home is healthier, made with love, and metabolizes faster. It also takes effort and intention and gives me time to think if maybe I am just stressed, thirsty, or truly hungry and that is why I am having sugar cravings. This is another healthy way I try to get in touch with the food I eat.
When you are truly hungry, be good to yourself and feel good about indulging in this Lemon Angel Cake made with my Gluten Free Baking Mix, fresh lemons and egg whites, and enjoy every single bite. It may feel like you're cheating, but you're not. And talk about easy... it only takes 15 minutes to put together!
