For the best results, use a high-quality angel food cake mix. Alternatively, you can use a homemade angel food cake, but ensure it is slightly stale for optimal texture. Do not oversoak the cake slices in the egg mixture, as they will become too fragile and difficult to handle. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute it with granulated sugar, but the brown sugar adds a subtle caramel flavor that complements the angel food cake beautifully. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and vanilla extract to your liking. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, comforting flavor. This French toast is best served immediately, as the angel food cake can become soggy if left to sit for too long. Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix and water. Beat with an electric mixer until just combined and the batter is smooth. (2 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. (1 minute)
04
Step
45 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, cracked, and appears dry to the touch. This should take approximately 38 to 48 minutes. (45 minutes)
05
Step
8 hrs
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to firm up. (8 hours)
06
Step
2 mins
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
07
Step
3 mins
Using a serrated knife, gently slice the angel food cake into 12 even slices. (3 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. (2 minutes)
09
Step
5 mins
Dip each slice of angel food cake into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing it in the hot skillet. (5 minutes)
10
Step
10 mins
Cook the French toast slices in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
11
Step

Jun 22, 2025I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is maybe adding a little bit of orange zest to the egg mixture for a citrusy twist.

Jun 15, 2025The angel food cake makes the French toast so light and airy. It's like eating a cloud! I added a dollop of mascarpone cheese and some fresh berries on top, and it was divine.
