Guest guest Report post Posted July 12, 2009 No, angel food is basically egg supporting a little flour. It's not possible to make it without eggs since nothing will make a meringue.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 13, 2009 (( That stinks Thanks for the info! Can you suggest an alternative to Angel Food cake?

Guest guest Report post Posted July 13, 2009 Maybe a sponge cake would work. Here's a recipe I have been wanting to try but haven't gotten to yet. Lime Scented Vegan GF Sponge Cake original recipe from Geetha's Kitchen Ingredients: 1 tsp cornstarch 1/3 cup fresh Lime Juice 3/4 cup organic sugar 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/3 cup Canola oil 1 cup water Lime rind grated from 1 Lime 2 cups gf cake blend (no bean flours) + extra for dusting the cake pans 4 tsp baking powder Method: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat one 11 by 13 inch OR two 9 inch diameter layer cake pans with a cooking oil spray. Lightly dust the pan(s) with a little flour. Finely grate the rind (only the green part) from 1 lime (2 if the limes are small) before juicing; you should have about 1 tsp of lime zest. Juice enough limes to make 1/3 cup of juice - about 2 limes. In a large mixing bowl combine the corn starch in the 1/3 cup of lime juice using a wire whisk until slightly frothy. Add the grated lime rind, oil, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Mix well. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Sift well to combine .. Sift (yes again) the flour mixture into the bowl with the cornstarch mixture. Combine thoroughly with a whisk or rubber spatula just until all is mixed well. Pour batter into the oiled baking pan(s) and bake for about 20 minutes or until done. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Serve as is, with berries and custard, or fill and frost as you wish - Lime Curd or Vanilla Custard make great fillings.
