Jane's Orange and Almond Angel Food Cake - Bake Along Series 4, Week 1

Join the brilliant Jane Beedle (GBBO Finalist from series 7) live from Kent, UK who will teach you to bake her light-as-a-feather Orange and Almond Angel Food Cake, as week 1 of our 10-week Series 4 Bake Along.

This class takes place on Sunday 5th March 2023 at the following times:

9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 5pm UK GMT

Have you been put off making and Angel Food Cake because most recipes say you need 12 egg whites, and what do you do with all those yolks? Well, this is for you, only 5 eggs needed and we find something to do with the yolks too. No need to splash out on an expensive special tin either, just use an 8” cake tin and a clean and empty tin can - what could be easier!

This class is part of our Series 4 Bake Along, where we revisit Bake Off's UK Series 4 and try our hand at one bake from each week in the tent. We'll cover signatures, technicals and even show-stoppers. For significant savings and to sign up to all 10 weeks, click here.

Please allow up to 2 hours for this class.

Not only do you have your celebrity baker teaching you, but you also have one of our brilliant Bake With A Legend hosts who will ensure the smooth running of your experience ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves.

If you need any help at any point during the class, you’ll be encouraged to raise your hand and your baker will be virtually joining you in your own kitchen in no time to assist you!

You’ll bake along in tandem with Jane, learning many tips and tricks a long the way as you perfect all the skills required to make Jane's delicious take on the classic Angel Food Cake. Jane will also be on hand to answer your questions, be those about baking or her experiences of being involved on such an iconic television show.
