Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pint blackberries
10 fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 cups dry rose wine
2 tablespoons honey
Juice of 1 orange
1 pint mascarpone
2 grinds black pepper
1 angel food cake

Steps:

  • Place the berries in a medium bowl and tear in the mint.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the wine, honey and orange juice. Bring just to a simmer, and then pour over the berries. Let the berries macerate for about 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add the mascarpone, black pepper and 2 tablespoons of the macerating liquid from the berries. Stir to combine.
  • Slice the cake and serve with a spoonful of the berries and a dollop of the mascarpone mixture.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Sift the flour and powdered sugar together before measuring. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make the cake lighter and fluffier.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will also help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter and fluffier.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently. Over-mixing can deflate the egg whites and make the cake dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Cool the cake completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Angel food cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries, or for a simple afternoon snack. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect angel food cake that will impress your friends and family.
