Angel food cake!

Tonight I am having a couple friends over for dinner. I started Weight Watchers on Wednesday so I wanted to make a dessert that was delicious for everyone but wouldn't absolutely kill my points (I am counting on dinner to do that!)

Obviously, I decided on angel food cake. With mixed berries and Cool Whip on top. Yum!

As anybody who knows me knows, I cannot bake. I rely on boxed mixes and I often have the uncanny ability of messing those up as well! When I went to make the angel food cake mix... that is pretty difficult to mess as all it consists of is emptying the powder from the bag, adding water, and... oh wait... you are supposed to beat it? Like with an electric mixer? Yeah, don't have one of those.

I am mid-attempt to bake an angel food cake with just whisking the batter. For any twenty-something out there that is trying to be figure friendly and wants to serve delicious desserts, angel food cake is your best friend. However, who the heck owns an electric mixer?? I used a whisk, which, to be honest, I am lucky that I own even that!

I DO have an angel food cake pan. That is the one that has a bottom part that separates from the sides. I bought it around the time of my holiday party in November to make monkey bread in. Turns out you cannot use an angel food cake pan to make monkey bread in. I learned that the hard way when minutes before guests were supposed to arrive for my party, sugar started dripping out of the bottom of the pan, burning in the oven, which set off the smoke alarm, filled my apartment with smoke, and let off a horrible smell. Way to go.

The cake is in the oven now. I will let you know how it turns out!!
