This cake was wonderful in every way! To make because it was for my mother-in-law's birthday. To bake because it's a great recipe. To eat because well...ditto, it's a great recipe! I made it in the few hours I was home that day (after a fantastic hike and before eating dinner out with the 'rents). It was such a breeze to make and an excellent use of the accumulating egg whites in my freezer. I think it wins as the nicest angel food cake I've eaten. It was light and tender, had a great flavour, light on the sugar and the perfect amount of almond. There isn't much more to say, it was brilliant! And that sauce! I subbed out raspberries for strawberries since there is a surplus flowing through my kitchen right now. The flavours are fresh and bright, and luckily for me, one of her favourite desserts!
Baking notes:
-I never have amaretto on hand, so I just google a recipe online and whip some up.
-I first checked the cake at 50 minutes, and it was totally done. (I have since found out my oven runs close to 70 degrees hot (yikes!). Just mind your baking times.
