I am new to this but I would say no as it contains butter, sugar and eggs. The only option I have found so far is pancakes made with buckwheat flour, but some say no to maple syrup, so I am still searching for that sweet treat!!

How does pH affect the quality of angel food cake?

The pH can affect the color, texture, and flavor of angel food cake. The color is preserved by making it slightly acidic. If it was too alkaline, the anthoxanthins pigments will turn yellow. The texture is improved by adding acid as well. The acid helps to denature proteins in the egg white, which will help improve the egg white foam used in the cake. The flavor can also be affected by the pH. If too much baking soda (alkaline) is added to a cake, the cake will taste soapy. If too much cream of tarter (acid) is added, the cake will taste too sour.


Why does cake expand?

Cake expands or "rises" because of air that has been incorporated into the batter that expands when it is heated. Many cakes also have baking soda or baking powder that causes expansion by acid/alkaline reaction.


Does it matter how much baking soda you put in a cake?

yes, it certainly does. Baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in the batter, producing bubbles of gas that make the cake rise. Too much or too little baking soda puts the acid / alkaline mix off balance, and the cake will fall flat.


What is the function of raising agents in cakes?

a good raising agent for cakes or any baking for that matter would be sodium hydrogen carbonate, this contains alkaline, the alkaline when heated gives off carbon dioxide, which forms little bubbles all over , in and around the cake making these bigger -being filled with the CO2 makes the cake rise, you can see this when you cut a cake open , the little air pockets/holes all inside the cake.
