We’re nearly two full weeks into January. How is your healthy eating going? Is the December bloat beginning to fade away? Do you need some cupcakes now?
I dooooooooooooooo. Don’t get me wrong, I really do love the fresh, healthy feeling of January. I love that it’s a great chance to check back in with your eating habits, and healthy food can absolutely be delicious food, so I’m not exactly suffering over here, but sometimes a girl just really needs a cupcake. And you know I like my decadent cupcakes, but (fab) heavy things, like my Tagalong Cupcakes or Brooklyn Blackout Cupcakes feel a little excessive for mid-January, so I thought now would be a good time to break out something a little lighter: small-batch Angel Food Cupcakes!
Would you believe that I grew up thinking I didn’t like angel food cake? Turns out I just didn’t like whatever it is they sell at the grocery store that they call angel food cake. The first time I made the real thing, I was floored. The texture is nothing like the store-bought stuff. It’s so light and tasty, like eating a marshmallow spun into a cloud. This small-batch recipe will make a half dozen angel food cupcakes that come in at about 40 calories each. You can absolutely enjoy these cute little cupcakes by themselves, but if you add a little whipped cream and chopped fruit, even better. If you’re looking for a light dessert, these are a perfect way to add some cupcakes to your January.
