GREAT GRANDMA PEARL'S ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH PEACHES AND CREAM



Great Grandma Pearl's Angel Food Cake with Peaches and Cream image

My great-grandmother Pearl was famous for her angel food cake. She would enter baking contests with this recipe and always took home the blue ribbon. Among her bounty of prizes? A KitchenAid stand mixer (which came in very handy for this recipe, considering she used to beat the egg whites by hand) and a new stove! Not to mention a mighty fine sash and a ribbon proclaiming her the queen of cakes.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups egg whites (from about 16 large eggs)
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
6 to 8 canned peach halves in syrup, cut into thin wedges, syrup reserved
Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and glossy, about 4 minutes.
  • Transfer the egg whites to a large, wide bowl. Using a fine sieve, gradually sift the flour over the egg whites, gently folding in the flour with a spatula. Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Scrape the batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Using a table knife, slice through the cake batter several times to release any large air bubbles. Tap the cake pan once or twice on a flat surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle and let cool completely.
  • To loosen the cake, run a thin-bladed knife around the side and tube of the pan. Unmold the cake and transfer to a platter. Cut the cake into wedges and drizzle with some of the reserved syrup. Serve with the sliced peaches and whipped cream.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Angel Food Cake image

This dessert, originally from an article called "Angel Food Cake 101," is revered as much for its airy, light texture as for its delicate flavor, which brings out the best in everything it touches: Fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, lemon curd, and more.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup sifted cake flour, (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
12 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in lower third but not on bottom shelf. Prepare a 10-inch angel-food-cake pan: Using the pan as your guide, cut a circle from a piece of parchment paper; use it to line bottom of pan. Using a sieve, sift flour and 1/2 cup sugar onto another piece of parchment.
  • Set sieve over a bowl, and return mixture to sieve; sift again and set aside.
  • Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt; continue beating until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. With mixer running, add remaining cup sugar a little at a time, beating no longer than 1 minute.
  • Raise speed to medium-high; continue beating until firm, but not stiff, peaks form (when beater is lifted, only the tip of the peak should fall over slightly). Gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, wide bowl. Sprinkle a third of the reserved flour mixture over the whites. Using a whisk, gently combine in a folding motion, allowing batter to fall through the whisk as you fold. Sprinkle remaining flour mixture over whites in two more batches; fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix because the egg whites will deflate.
  • Using a large rubber spatula, transfer batter to prepared pan. Run a knife gently through the center of the batter to remove any large air bubbles. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean and cake is springy to the touch, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and invert onto its legs, making sure cake clears the surface of the counter. (If using a tube pan, invert it and hang over the neck of a bottle.) Let cool completely, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. To remove cake, reinvert pan, top side up. Run a knife around the inner and outer edges of the cake before releasing the bottom. Cake will keep up to 2 days at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic. To serve, slice with a serrated knife.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE



Angel Food Cake - Homemade image

This is a MUST if you have never tried a homemade Angel Food Cake. I never liked Angel Food Cakes until the neighbor lady invited me over for coffee shortly after I was married. That was almost 15 years ago, and my children and husband always ask for this for special occasions. Thank you Artie, for being a wonderful friend and for the recipe!

Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
12 large egg whites, MUST be room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
  • DO NOT GREASE PAN.
  • I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
  • Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
  • Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
  • If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
  • Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
  • Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
  • (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
  • Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
  • Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
  • To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
  • Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
  • You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
  • Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
  • No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
  • Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Apples: Fresh, crisp apples provide the best flavor and texture to the cake. Choose firm varieties that hold their shape well, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through without overbaking it.
  • Allow the Cake to Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from sliding off the cake.
  • Use a Variety of Apples: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of different types of apples, such as a sweet apple like Honeycrisp and a tart apple like Granny Smith.
  • Add Spices: A sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice can enhance the flavor of the cake.
  • Garnish with Fresh Apple Slices: Before serving, garnish the cake with fresh apple slices for a beautiful presentation.

Conclusion:

Apple angel food cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, sweet apple flavor, and creamy frosting, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a delicious and impressive cake. So, gather your ingredients and preheat your oven, because it's time to bake a mouthwatering apple angel food cake!
