Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups sifted superfine sugar (about 1 pound)
1 1/3 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature (10 to 12 eggs)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup coarsely grated semisweet chocolate
1/2 lb semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus
1 tablespoon heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with the flour and sift them together 4 times. Set aside.
Place the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the eggs form medium-firm peaks, about 1 minute. With the mixer on medium speed, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar by sprinkling it over the beaten egg whites. Beat on high speed for a few minutes until thick and shiny. Add the vanilla and continue to whisk until very thick, about 1 more minute. Scrape the beaten egg whites into a large bowl. Sift 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold it very carefully into the batter with a rubber spatula. Continue adding the flour in 3 equal additions, sifting and folding until it's all incorporated. Fold in the grated chocolate.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top, and bake it for 35 to 45 minutes, until it springs back to the touch. Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan on a cooling rack. When cool, run a thin, flexible knife around the cake to remove it from the pan.
For the chocolate glaze, place the chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate melts. Pour the chocolate over the top of the cooled cake to cover the top completely and allow it to drizzle down the sides. If you have chocolate glaze left over, you can serve it on the side with the cake.

Tips:

Use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour for a lighter, airier cake.
Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them reach their full volume when beaten.
Beat the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
Add the sugar to the egg whites in three additions, beating well after each addition.
Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites gently, using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, or the cake will be tough.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
For the chocolate glaze, use a good quality bittersweet chocolate. This will give the glaze a rich, decadent flavor.
Heat the cream and corn syrup over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and whisk until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Allow the glaze to cool slightly before pouring it over the cake.

Conclusion:

Chocolate glazed angel food cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, fluffy, and has a delicious chocolate glaze. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake at home that is sure to impress your friends and family.
