Funfetti Angel Food Cake

August 10, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hello, hello!!

Remember yesterday when I said today is a special day?  Well today is my birthday.  I would tell you my age but it’s only a number, it’s really how you feel and act and I can tell you I certainly don’t act my age.  To celebrate today, I made myself a birthday cake.  I know it sounds kind of weird, baking yourself a birthday cake, but that’s how things roll in my house.  Besides I like baking, especially when it comes out perfect!!!  And this birthday cake is perfect in my eyes, after all it has sprinkles in it and how can anything be bad with sprinkles??

Funfetti Angel Foodcake
Yummy!  I love Angel Food Cake!  I have to say it is probably my favorite cake of all time!  Even as a kid I used to ask for either marble cake with chocolate frosting or angel food cake for my birthday.  There is something wonderful about the light, fluffy cake.  I swear if you allowed me to, I could so eat a whole cake in a day.  Now I have never done that, but I could, if I allowed myself too!

But what I love about today’s angel food cake is that it has sprinkles.  I thought I would try adding them in, right at the end of mixing the batter and to my surprise the sprinkles spread out beautifully throughout the cake.  It gives a little spunk to the cake and makes it all colorful and fun.  After all it’s birthday time and it’s all about having fun.  Hmmm, speaking of fun, I wonder what Hubby has planned for me today?  My guess is he will take me to Home Depot to buy me a stove.  Isn’t that romantic?  He is one of those guys that buys practical gifts and takes you with him to buy it.  Even for Christmas I got a refrigerator.  With Christmas in a few months, the last appliance we will need is a matching dishwasher.  I better buy that myself, I don’t want a dishwasher for Christmas unless it comes with someone who actually does the dishes!!!

The cake in general is pretty easy to make and only takes a few ingredients.  The two key things is whip the cake to make a nice stiff meringue and when you fold in the cake flour, don’t over mix it.  I know it’s hard, but don’t do it, the longer you mix it, a more dense of a cake you will get.  You want a nice fluffy light cake.  Your probably wondering why I didn’t add frosting to the cake, and to be honest, I am not a frosting person.  Typical angel food cakes have a powdered sugar glaze over the top, but I don’t care for that kind of frosting.  I like my angel food cakes plain.  That way I can add fruit and whip cream to it or just cut off a piece and eat it plain, which is what I have been doing with this cake.

A light, fluffy vanilla flavored sponge cake filled with colorful sprinkles.
Serves: 10 slices
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 1½ cups egg whites (about 10 eggs)
  • 1¼ tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp. kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup sprinkles / Jimmies
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and position oven rack just below center,
  2. Have one large two peice tube pan (angel food cake pan) ready
  3. In a bowl, sift cake flour and ½ cup powdered sugar; set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, about 1 minute. Beat in cream of tartar, vanilla and salt, on medium-low speed until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium. Gradually beat in remaining ½ cup of powdered sugar. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat until firm peaks hold when beaters are lifted; about 5 minutes.
  5. In batches, with a spatula, carefully fold in flour mixture over batter, do not over mix. Fold in sprinkles.
  6. Pour batter into prepared angel food cake pan and spread the batter to make the top even.
  7. Bake cake 30 to 32 minutes, or until puffed and lightly browned, and test the cake with wooden skewer by inserting it near center of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is done. Insert narrow-neck bottle into center tube, and invert pan to cool cake upside down.
  8. When cake is completely cooled, remove from bottle and carefully cut around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake. Lift out pan’s center tube with cake. Cut under cake and around center tube to release cake.
  9. Top with a dollop of whip cream and sprinkles, if desired.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup non-fat milk, or your favorite kind
1 cup greek yogurt plain or vanilla
1 tsp. butter extract
2 tsp. vanilla extract (omit if using vanilla flavored yogurt)
2 pkt. stevia (to taste)
1 cup ice

Directions: Place all ingredients in a blender and process until combined and smooth.

Note: Start off with 1/2 teaspoon of the butter extract and work your way up from there. Depending on the yogurt you use, the extract can be very strong. Also, if you use vanilla yogurt, do not use the vanilla extract.

Birthday Cake Smoothie

Wow, I made a lot of things with sprinkles.  How can you blame me?  For some reason these little jimmies are so much fun.

In case you may have not noticed, I included the recipe to my Birthday Cake Smoothie, since so many asked me to post it again.

Time for me to get going.  Have a great Saturday.  I’ll let you know how my big day went!  🙂

Toodles,

Jennifer

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
