Since we’re experimenting with recipes, I told myself why not write about another really tasty recipe that’s also a very delicious dessert that’s won’t compromise your diet. Here’s: “A Rooibos angel’s dream cake”.

Of course, this follows my previous article so you must have expected something along those lines! Without further ado, roll up your sleeves and bring out your pans.

Ingredients

- 1 box of angel cake mix

- 2 tsp of Rooibos, preferably a flavoured one

- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

- 1 1/4 cup of boiling water

- A few drops of food coloring

- Cake pan for angel cakes (a bundt pan can also work)

Directions

Actually, all you need to do is follow the cake box’s direction. Just replace the water with your Rooibos infusion but don’t forget to strain it to remove the leaves; you don’t want to end up having to eat those! Once the mix is complete, add a few drops of food coloring to give the texture a nice color. Place your pan in the oven and once the cooking is done, cool it and serve with berries.

Piece of cake!
