Honey of a Recipe: Cake Glaze

More fun with honey from our beekeeper - this time, appropriately, something sweet.

I whipped up my Grandma O's Angel Food Cake. Instead of making it in a tube pan, I used mini loaf pans so I could share the angel food goodness with friends.

I also used an antique whip to beat the egg whites, similar to one that Grandma O used. This one belongs to Middle Sister, who kindly let me borrow it to see if I liked it.

Verdict? It was the bomb. So easy to whip the egg whites - it was lighter weight than a mixer or even a standard whip. Lightness is important for the egg whites, as well as for your poor arm muscles while beating said egg whites.

Once the cakes had cooled, I topped them with my homemade honey glaze.

Delicious.
