Deliciously light and fluffy Bourbon Strawberry Angel Food Cupcakes topped with a rich strawberry bourbon sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cake flour, sifted (rice flour can be substituted)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar, separated
  • 9 egg whites
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 4 to 6 tbsp bourbon
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coat your baking pans with oil, butter, or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Sift the cake flour and 1/2 cup of the sugar together for an extra-light texture.
  3. Beat the egg whites until foamy, then add the salt and cream of tartar, beating until soft peaks form.
  4. Gradually beat in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, the vanilla bean seeds, and almond extract until the mixture holds stiffer peaks.
  5. Gently fold in the sifted flour and sugar mixture using a rubber spatula, careful to retain air in the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter into prepared baking cups or pans, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake according to pan type until done.
  7. Cool slightly, run a butter knife around the edges, and remove the cupcakes from the pans. Cool completely.
  8. In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries and bourbon, lightly mash, add turbinado sugar, and simmer until the sauce thickens.
  9. Drizzle the warm bourbon strawberry sauce over the cooled cupcakes and top with fresh berries before serving.
  10. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Check the centers for springiness to ensure cupcakes are done.
  • These are best enjoyed the day they’re made.
  • Turbinado sugar adds extra depth to the sauce, but regular sugar is a suitable substitute.
