Easy Angel Food Cake baked right in a bundt pan (in case you don’t have a tube pan). Incredibly fluffy, airy and delicious Just the way classic Angel Food Cake should be!
Many people say you can’t make an angel food cake in a bundt cake pan.
But I have found that not to be true.
It might not turn out exactly the same.
But the texture and the taste are identical to any angel food cake I’ve ever made in my own tube pan.
My foray into trying it with a bundt pan stemmed from needing an angel food cake for an event.
Somehow in our move, my angel food cake pan went missing and I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I mean where does an angel food pan go?
Honestly it’s probably just in our storage unit but I couldn’t find it when I needed it and I didn’t have time to go shop for one.
So I ordered one on amazon to replace the missing one, and had to wait for it to arrive.
But I couldn’t wait to make this angel food cake, so I set out to try making it in a bundt pan, which I have several of.
I literally researched the heck out of it.
I read every person’s account of making an angel food cake in a bundt pan.
And was quite surprised at how many people said they had never made one in a traditional angel food cake pan.
That’s the only way I’d ever made one until I couldn’t find mine.
So I got a bit excited and gave it a shot.
Since many were saying it could be done, I set out to try it.
The one thing I read was that it needed to be a non-stick bundt pan.
The problem is, I didn’t have a non-stick bundt pan.
Six bundt pans and not one was non-stick.
So that caused me some concern, but I was still determined to try it.
I found the bundt pan that had the least amount of crevices and intricate details and went with that.
From what I read, that was the only thing I needed to really watch for.
However, since then, I’ve done it.
Sometimes the cake sticks a little bit but honestly the cake still looks beautiful served with sauce poured over, or even glazed.
The angel food cake recipe I used was the same one I’ve used since I learned how to bake, so I know it’s a good one.
I’m pretty sure it is a very old Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake recipe.
But it’s tried and true and super simple.
Easy Angel Food Cake for the win!
Guess what? It worked! Like a charm.
It wasn’t difficult, or hard – I did have to run a knife around the edges but other than that, as you can see from the photo, it’s perfect.

I thought the angel food cake pan had special powers or something, now I know I have options! This cake looks amazing and it makes me want to bake one and load up my plate with cake and berries!
Nicole Cook
I thought it did too but I was determined to not have to go out and get one. LOL I have one now, but I actually prefer how it turns out in the bundt pan. Thanks!!
Amy's Cooking Adventures
That looks like such a lovely angel food cake!
Nicole Cook
Thank you! I was pretty happy it turned out with just the bundt pan instead.
Ellen

It’s funny how some people insist that you need an angel food cake pan or a bundt cake pan for certain things. I had the same argument with my mom about monkey bread. My bundt cake pan is so old and everything comes out so badly that I hate using it, but my new non-stick angel food cake pan is AMAZING. Everything comes out of it perfectly.
Nicole Cook
I love the idea of making monkey bread in a non-stick angel food cake pan. I love my bundt pan and I also enjoy my new angel food pan but I like that I can interchange them here and there. 🙂
Jolene
Yay! A reason to pull my bundt pans out of hiding!

If I’m using a bundt pan do I still cool it upside down on a bottle?
Nicole Cook
Nope. Or at least I didn’t. I did let it cool a bit before removing it. But it works pretty much the same way a regular bundt cake would work but it’s a little stickier so you don’t want it to to cool TOO much before it’s removed. Hope that helps.
Angel Fleming
So you don’t have to turn it upside down to cool? I just attempted my first ever angel food cake. Turned it upside down on a bottle and it fell out. Ahhhhh.
Turns out it wasn’t totally done and I didn’t know it. Such a bummer.
Nicole Cook
I do not turn it upside down. You can, but if you do, place it above a baking rack rather than on a bottle. However, I allow it to cool most of the way in the pan. It just makes it easier to remove. Good luck.
Cindy Stocks
Love this recipe!! So much better than store bought! I made the first one in my bundt pan, because I forgot I had an angel food pan. It turned out so nice! I found my angel food cake pan and will make it for the 4th time now. I will use the angel food pan simply because it is easier to get out. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Mary Jo Tomaras
I was looking for an easy recipe and this sure is! I needed mini angel food cake for birthday party. These cooked up like a charm in my mini bundt pans! The part of the recipe that took the longest was separating the eggs! I did sift the powdered sugar and cake flour three times to make it light and fluffy. I will never buy a boxed angel food cake mix again!
Stephanie Fisk
Can you make this in cupcake pans?
Nicole Cook
I am not sure if you can make this in a cupcake pan or not. The batter and cake is VERY sticky so I’m not sure how easy they’d release. Maybe if you used a lot of spray?
If you decide to try it, let me know how it turns out.
Suzannah
I have some leftover egg whites from a acustard recipe and don’t want to waste them, this recipe looks perfect! Just a question, what size Bundt pan was this made in? Just a standard 9×5? Thanks!
Nicole Cook
This was made in a standard 12 cup bundt cake pan. I hope that helps, sorry I didn’t list that. Enjoy!
