In reply to Sandra. Oh no, Sandra. I am so sorry to hear. It would be hard to guess what went wrong in your kitchen but from my experience, angel food cake is a very light batter and overmixing it can cause the cake to shrink. The air that the egg whites bring allows the cake to rise, so maybe overmixing the flour into the batter in the last step? Also, it sounds like your oven might have been very hot as the cake shouldn't burn at the bottom and still be overcooked. That or also overfilling the cupcake tins. Again I apologize but without more details, it would be hard for me to help troubleshoot.

What could I have done wrong? My cupcakes shrunk, were burnt on the bottom and slightly undercooked in the middle.

In reply to Alison. Alison thank you very much! You can definitely half the recipe and use mini cupcake molds as well. However, the minis will bake much faster. So do keep an eye on them. I would start checking them at 5mins to make sure you don't over bake. Let me know how it goes :)

Zainab, these are Sooo pretty!! I love coconut and I love angel food! It’s a win win!! Can’t wait to try these but I did have a question… If I were to half the recipe AND make them minis instead of full size, how many do you think it would make? Any changes, like baking time? Thanks 🙂
