Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature (from about 1 dozen eggs)
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 -3 teaspoons hot water
1 tablespoon instant coffee or 1 tablespoon espresso
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup espresso
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Serving Suggestion: Vanilla frozen yogurt
  • Make the Cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the hot water and instant coffee to make coffee extract.
  • Using a sieve over a large bowl, sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in batches; then fold in the vanilla and dissolved coffee.
  • Spoon the batter into an ungreased 9 or 10-inch tube pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until light golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down, propped on top of a bottle until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade, or a butter knife, around the cake to loosen, then knock the cake out onto a plate or work it out with your fingers. The outside crumb of the cake will remain in the pan; exposing the white cake underneath.
  • Make the Glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick or more sugar if too thin. Pour glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down naturally. Let glaze set until hard, at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt, so you have a cappuccino in your mouth.

COFFEE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

This is my marathon-running dad's favorite cake (and he's always watching what he eats). I was asked to make Mayor Daley's birthday cake after he was having some heart concerns, so an orange version of this was the winner. One of the guests to arrive late was President Bill Clinton, who I got to sit with and talk to.

Tips:

  • To achieve a light and fluffy angel food cake, ensure you whip the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This will incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a delicate and airy texture.
  • Use a sifter to combine the dry ingredients to ensure they are evenly distributed and free of lumps.
  • When folding the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture, do so gently to prevent deflating the batter. Use a spatula to carefully combine the ingredients until they are just incorporated.
  • Bake the angel food cake in an ungreased tube pan. This will allow the cake to rise properly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Do not open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking. This can cause the cake to fall and result in a dense texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

With its light and fluffy texture, delicate flavor, and beautiful presentation, coffee angel food cake is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a delicious dessert, this cake is sure to impress. By following the tips provided in this article, you can easily create a stunning coffee angel food cake that will be enjoyed by all.
