Now that tropical fruits are readily available, Eastern Europeans are wild about the flavors of coconut and pineapple. This recipe makes a high 6 1/2 to 7-inch mini cake, so you will need a 3-inch deep mini tube or panettone pan. Traditional angel food cakes recipes call for 12 eggs or more. This mini cake works with six egg whites -- just the number I was left with after preparing two batches of pączki. Here are more leftover egg white recipes.
