How to Make Light Kiwi Lime Angel Food Mini Cupcakes
- In a very small bowl, combine cake flour with 1 tbsp sugar and set aside. In another medium sized bowl beat egg whites, vanilla extract, salt & cream of tartar with an electric mixer on high till soft peaks form. Add 1 tsp of lime zest & 1 tsp of lime juice to mixture. Gradually add the remaining 2 tbsp of sugar. Beat on high until mixture is fully incorporated, glossy and stiff peaks are formed.
Fold in by hand (not mixer) the flour and sugar mixture in thirds until fully incorporated. Make sure to try and keep batter as voluminous as possible. - Spray your silicone mini-muffin tray with cooking spray and then fill each cup with 1 tbsp of batter.
Pour your water into the bottom of your Ninja Cooking System and place the roasting rack down inside and your muffin tray on top of rack. Set OVEN to 325 degrees for 15 minutes. (Do not open and keep looking at the mini-muffins or they will not rise. This happened to my first batch. LOL) Mine took the whole 15 minutes and I even went 2 minutes longer. The cookbook says check them at 12 minutes and remove when a toothpick inserted to center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes and let cool then wash out the muffin tray and make the next batch. I also popped them out of muffin tray right away too.
