How to Make Deceptively Delicious Angel Food Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large egg whites, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 1 cup cake flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup pureed butternut squash (or other mild-flavored squash), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the egg whites using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting, such as our delicious Carrot Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe sold separately).
