Angel Food Cake II image

Time 1h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sifted cake flour
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
1 ½ cups egg whites
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup white sugar
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons cream

Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites, and using flat spatula, quickly but gently fold into egg whites. Repeat using 1/4 of the flour mixture each time.

My other hobbies are embroidery, counted cross-stitch and taking care of my flowers and garden (I love to can). My husband and I are retired to our farm home; we have three sons, all grown, and four grandchildren.

Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Double-Chocolate Frosting image

Four types of chocolate are called for in this decadent dessert: cocoa powder for the cake batter, bittersweet chocolate and milk chocolate for the frosting, and semisweet chocolate for the garnish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 9 1/2-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened but still cool, cut into 1-inch pieces
Semisweet chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together cake flour, cocoa, espresso powder, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and increase speed to high. Continue beating while gradually adding sugar until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Remove bowl from mixer. Add half the flour mixture and gently fold in until streaky, then add remaining flour mixture and fold in until well incorporated (do not overmix, as this will deflate the meringue, creating a dense cake).
  • Gently spoon batter into an ungreased 9 1/2-inch tube pan with removable bottom; smooth top. Run a knife or small spatula through batter to release air bubbles. Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Invert pan; let cake cool completely in pan. Run a knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the pan to loosen. Use knife to release cake from bottom of pan and remove.
  • Frosting: Place both chocolates in the bowl of a stand mixer; set aside. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup to a boil. Pour over chocolate; let stand 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk, starting in center and working outward, until chocolate is smooth. Let cool at room temperature, whisking occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Attach bowl to stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium speed, gradually adding butter, until frosting is smooth and silky.
  • Using a serrated knife, split cake in half horizontally. Place bottom layer on a cake plate. Measure 2 cups frosting and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Top with second layer. Use remaining frosting to cover cake completely, using spatula to create a smooth finish or create swirls. Garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired. Serve immediately.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Homemade Chocolate Angel Food Cake image

I developed this cake using my mother's angel food cake recipe because my husband and three daughters all love chocolate. It's won first place at our county and state fairs as well as "Best of Class" at the state fair!

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h15m

Yield 12-16 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-1/2 cups plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
1-1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
2 cups egg whites (about 14), room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon chocolate flavoring
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Ice cream and fudge sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Sift together 1-1/2 cups sugar, flour and cocoa; set aside. In a large bowl, beat egg whites, vanilla and chocolate flavoring until foamy. Combine cream of tartar, salt and remaining sugar; add a little at a time to bowl. Beat until very stiff but not dry peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture; do not over mix. Pour into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and invert pan; allow to cool completely before removing from pan. Serve with ice cream and fudge sauce if desired.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and produce a light and fluffy cake.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. Stiff peaks are what you're looking for, but if you overbeat them, they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently. Use a spatula and work in a circular motion until the whites are just combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Angel Food Cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a delicate chocolate flavor. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
