How many ways can you combine eggs and sugar? I made an angel food cake this weekend, which called for six egg whites. My grandma’s glaze for it called for 2 yolks…what to do with the rest? Crème brûlée.
Angel food cake: egg whites, sugar, flour.
Angel food glaze: powdered sugar, butter and water.
Crème brûlée: egg yolks, sugar and cream.

Glaze for the cake:
- 3-4 Tablespoons butter or marg.
- 3 Cups powdered sugar (sifted)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 Tablespoons milk.
I used water and not milk, seemed fine. Didn’t need even half of it though for the small 20cm cake.
They both look amazing! Creme Brûlée is one of my favourite desserts!
