GuyBeardmane Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 I'm making this a thread because I have a stupid question I hope someone can answer but also I don't want the thread to be just that one stupid question, so here we go. Are all cakes with the hole in the middle like a donut angel food cakes, or is there something else that makes a cake an angel food cake?
wacky1980 Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 i want to say angel food cake is different from other cakes primarily based on the ingredients used (only thing i can recall is no egg yolks, just egg whites). i've only ever seen angel food cake made in the donut shape, but i think it could probably be made in sheet form as well if one were so inclined. but bundt cake pans are used for other types of cakes as well. coffee cake comes to mind. do i ask a stupid question now? ok. why the hell do they stuff cotton inside pill jars? is it to keep the pills from breaking during shipping? why not just make the containers smaller instead of leaving all that empty space? 2
GuyBeardmane Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Thank you for your answer, and yes. This isn't so much like one of those threads where you're obligated to ask a stupid question when responding, but if you have one ask away. Because some of these are gonna be questions I've thought myself and never bothered to look into. It's more like a general knowledge pool for everyone to share their questions and answers. That being said, I ain't got no idea about the cotton. 1
nameraka Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Wacky basically covered it. What you're describing is just a cake made in a bundt pan. Angel food uses a lighter batter. You could make devil's food (heavier batter) in a bundt pan just as easily or you could make angel food in a different kind of pan and it wouldn't have the hole.
