Angel Food French Toast
Description
This Angel Food French Toast recipe uses angel food cake sliced into pieces dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, flour slurry, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. The flour helps create a gentle coating that yields a slightly crisp exterior when pan-fried. Butter melts in the pan, cooking the cake slices evenly to a golden surface without sogginess.
The final texture is a combination of the airy softness of angel food cake and the creamy custard-like coating from the egg mixture. Cooking each side along with the cake's thick end ensures uniform browning and adds a subtle caramelization flavor.
Topping suggestions include fresh strawberries and blueberries, whipped cream, maple syrup, and fresh mint, which together add freshness, sweetness, and visual appeal, rounding out the dish as a festive breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake sliced into 12 pieces
- 3 egg large
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
for topping:
- Whipped Cream
- strawberries
- blueberries
- maple syrup
- mint fresh
Instructions
- Im a measuring cup, whisk flour into a few tablespoons of milk until it’s totally dissolved to create a bit of a slurry. Add back to the rest of the milk.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat. Gently dip each piece of angel food cake into the egg mixture, fully submerging it and covering all the sides. Make sure to let most of the egg drip off. Place a bit of butter in the skillet/griddle, then place cake on it and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. The only additional step here is you want to fry each side, then turn it on it’s “back” and get that thick third end of the cake. Repeat with remaining slices, adding a bit of butter each time.
- Serve with syrup, berries, whipped cream and fresh mint!
