Cooling angel food cake upside down
Angel food cake has much less flour than a regular cake. Its rise is created by the egg whites and until it cools, its structure is not set. Allowing it to cool upside down ensures it doesn’t collapse. Many angel food cake pans come with feet around the edges for this very purpose. However, inverting the center ring onto the neck of a bottle will also work.

what happens if I don’t have a bottle
If you don’t have an angel food cake pan with feet for inverting, and you don’t have a bottle, see if you can invert it on something else. Or invert onto a wire rack.
I have tried to put my angel food cake pan upside down on a bottle but it won’t stand up, I did have one that had support legs but I wore it out and got a new one.
any suggestions.
Hmm, maybe invert it onto a wire rack? The point of inverting it on feet or on a bottle is to promote airflow as it cools, so any way to keep from covering it up when it’s upside down should work. Good luck!
I bought an aluminum funnel for $2.49 that works great for cooling angel food cakes.
I’m making an angel food cake call my father for his birthday the recipe is for using a bundt pan I heard it is best to let egg whites come to room temperature before adding to batter my question is how long do you bake an angel food cake using room temperature egg whites I have heard that it takes longer to bake an angel food cake using room temperature egg white then using cold one is that true
The baking time using room temperature egg whites shouldn’t be much different, and if anything it will be shorter. Always bake angel food cakes until they spring back when pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Also, I’m curious to know how it bakes up in a bundt pan. Be sure that the pan you use is not a non-stick otherwise the cake will not rise.
I have attempted to put my fluffy cake dish topsy turvy on a contain yet it won’t stand, I had one that had help legs yet I broken it down and got another one. lol beans
But why did it fall out of the pan when I turned it over to cool?????
Hmm, did you grease the pan?
This happened to me a couple of times! I think it may have been under baked. One time I added a can of cherry pie mix. The other time was crushed pineapple. I may not have checked for doneness properly both times. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the excellent post! It covers all bases. Some of the stuff I already knew, but I also learnt a lot. This is content that should absolutely be shared.
