An angel cake is basically a sponge cake which uses egg whites which beaten till stiff peak, just like a chiffon cake. I used red dragon fruit puree in the cake batter and why is the cake not pink?? As I already knew that the pink colour pigment will not maintain after the baking process, thus I added a tsp of red yeast rice powder to the batter, hoping that the cake will at least has some reddish colour tone instead of a brownish cake! hehehe so am more curious with the outcome of the appearance rather than its taste! ^.* The results? A orangey red angel cake with slight tinge of sweetness from the dragon fruit.
ooohhhh so pink!! but after baking the tone is completely different!
