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.

Steps:
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Heat, without stirring, to 300 to 310 degrees F or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.
- Remove from heat and stir in baking soda.
- Pour into prepared pan; do not spread. Mixture will not fill pan.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Melt morsels and shortening in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute; stir. Microwave an additional 10 to 15 seconds, stirring until smooth.
- Break cooled candy into bite sized pieces and dip into melted chocolate. Let set on waxed paper. Store tightly covered.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality chocolate that is at least 70% cacao. This will give your candy a rich, decadent flavor.
- Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start whipping them. This will help them reach their full volume and make your candy light and airy.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, and your candy will be tough.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and your candy will be hard and brittle.
- If you are using a candy thermometer, remove the sugar syrup from the heat when it reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit (115 degrees Celsius).
- If you are not using a candy thermometer, test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Pour the sugar syrup over the beaten egg whites in a slow, steady stream, beating constantly. This will help prevent the egg whites from curdling.
- Continue beating the egg whites and sugar syrup until the mixture is thick and glossy and holds stiff peaks.
- If you are adding nuts, fruits, or other flavorings, fold them into the egg white mixture gently. Do not overmix, or you will deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the candy mixture into a prepared pan and let it cool completely. This will take several hours or overnight.
- Once the candy is cool, cut it into squares or slices and enjoy!
Conclusion:
Chocolate Angel Food Candy is a delicious, light, and airy candy that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced candy maker, you are sure to enjoy making and eating this delightful treat.
