The Incredible Angel Food Cake

The Angel Food Cake contest is returning to the competitive exhibit lineup at the Kimberton Fair this year on Monday, July 26. Now known as "The INCREDIBLE Angel Food Cake contest" Kimberton's competition is co-sponsored by Pennsylvania Egg Farmers and the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs. Pre-registration is required for Kimberton's contest which is a preliminary competition to the state finals in January at the PA Farm Show.

Baking a cake is a very rewarding area of home cookery. There are two main types of cakes, butter and foam (egg-leavened). Angel food is the classic example of a foam cake. The cake is 100% fat free and, because of the eggs, is a good source of the highest quality protein, as well a source of choline, which is essential to memory and brain development.

Kimberton's winner will receive cash and a ribbon, along with the opportunity to advance to the final competition at the PA Farm Show in January 2011 where the winner will receive $500.00 for first prize.

When entering your cake, which must be made from scratch and using eggs produced in Pennsylvania, you must also submit the recipe.

Cakes will be judged on the following categories and percentages:

30% Flavor (smell, taste, flavoring)

25% Inside Characteristics (texture, lightness)

20% Overall appearance (surface, size, color)

15% Creativity

10% Topping, Icing or Decoration

Pre-registration is required. For questions, contact Karen Dobson at info@kimbertonfair.org
