PORT ROYAL -- The Angel Food Cake contest is returning to the competitive exhibit lineup at the 169th Juniata County Fair this year. The Incredible Angel Food Cake contest, sponsored by Pennsylvania Egg Farmers and the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs, will be held on Saturday Sept. 2. All entries must be in place on Friday, Sept. 1, from 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
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 as a source of choline, which is essential to memory and brain development.
Entrants may not have won 1st place in this Angel Food Cake contest at any other fair in 2023.
Prizes awarded will be 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place.
The winning cake will be eligible for competition at the PA Farm Show in January 2024, where the winner will receive $500 for first prize.
When entering your cake, which must be entirely made from scratch, you must also submit the recipe.
Pennsylvania produced and packed eggs are requested to be used, if possible. Look for the PEQAP or PA packaging dates on the carton.
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
