What do you do when you have a dozen eggs that are about to expire? You make an angel food cake with custard filling of course!
When I was presented with the fact that Instructables HQ was sitting on over a dozen eggs scheduled to expire any minute, I accepted it as a challenge to use them all in one glorious dish. The obvious choices were trite - I needed to create something new from something old (namely, the eggs).
I found a recipe that required 12 egg whites - angel food cake. Now what to do with a dozen egg yolks? Easy: custard. Has anyone ever married these two together? Could it work? I decided to find out!
Even though I had never before made either an angel food cake or custard, I could tell you (imho) that this is one of the most amazing desserts I've ever tasted. Objectively, I can tell you the cake was completely consumed within the first 15 minutes of its existence. Not a crumb remained. I highly encourage you to make your own and draw your own conclusions. If my first attempt turned out so well, I'm positive yours will too!
