Instructions

• Step 1: Prepare the Custard Mixture. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, large eggs, vanilla bean paste, and espresso powder until well combined. Make sure there are no clumps of espresso powder remaining.
• Step 2: Soak the Angel Food Cake. Dip each slice of angel food cake into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the slices to soak for about 30 seconds to absorb the flavors.
• Step 3: Heat the Skillet. In a non-stick skillet or griddle, melt one tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, it’s time to cook the French toast.
• Step 4: Cook the French Toast. Place the soaked angel food cake slices in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches.
• Step 5: Serve with Toppings. Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with fresh raspberries for a beautiful presentation.
