Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely grated, plus more for sprinkling
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted, for grilling
2 cups mixed fresh berries, for serving
1 cup whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar into a large bowl. Whisk in the chocolate and set aside.
  • Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the whites on medium-high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and whip on high speed until the whites are glossy and can hold a stiff peak. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, gently folding it into the egg white mixture, until fully combined. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake until the cake springs back when pressed with a finger, 30 to 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time. Let cool, inverted, for 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan.
  • To grill the cake: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the cake and brush both sides of each slice lightly with the butter. Grill the cake slices until the surface becomes lightly caramelized and grill marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the berries, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of grated chocolate.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup cake flour
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig thyme
1 medium pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the cake flour, 3/4 cup superfine sugar and the salt onto a piece of parchment paper. Sift the flour mixture a second time onto another piece of parchment; set aside. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form, about 4 more minutes. Gradually beat in the remaining 1 cup superfine sugar; increase the speed to high and beat until the egg whites are stiff and glossy, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, until fully incorporated with no pockets of dry ingredients. Transfer the batter to an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan. Bake until golden and the cake springs back when pressed, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert the cake pan onto a small funnel or bottle neck and let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the compote: Combine the brown sugar, rum, 1/2 cup water and the rosemary and thyme sprigs in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; simmer, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the pineapple, return to a gentle simmer and cook until the pineapple is softened and the liquid is syrupy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cool, about 1 hour. Remove the herb sprigs.
  • Loosen the edge of the cake with a knife, tap the sides of the pan against the counter and unmold the cake onto a platter. Slice and serve with the compote.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup cake flour
1 cup sugar
12 large egg whites (egg whites from large eggs, no yolks in the whites!)
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
1 orange, zested
2 ripe mangoes, 1 peeled and coarsely chopped and 1 peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, divided
2 teaspoons sugar, if needed
1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 kiwis, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 star fruit (carambola), cut into thin star slices
1 cup halved red seedless grapes
2 tablespoons chiffonade of mint, for garnish
Special Equipment: Angel Food Cake Pan

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour together with 1/2 cup of the sugar and set aside.
  • Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer. Be SURE that the bowl is clean and dry, any fat in the bowl can prevent the egg whites from whipping up fluffy fluffy fluffy! Add the salt and the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the egg whites on a medium-high speed until they reach soft peaks, about 5 minutes.
  • While the mixer is running, gradually add the remaining sugar. DO NOT plop the sugar in all at once or it will push the air out of the whites that we are trying to beat in. Add in the vanilla and zests and then stop the mixer. Add 1/3 of the flour/sugar mixture and fold gently fold, do this quickly but gently. Repeat the process 2 more times until all of the flour/sugar mixture is incorporated.
  • Transfer the cake batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bang the cake pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles trapped in the cake batter.
  • Bake the cake on a sheet tray in the preheated oven until it is light and springy, about 1 1/4 hours. Cool the cake for at least 1 hour before unmolding. Serve with the tropical fruit compote.
  • For the compote: In a food processor or blender, puree the coarsely chopped mango and 1/2 cup orange juice. If this mixture needs a little more sweetness, add in the 2 teaspoons of sugar and puree for another 10 seconds or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Combine all of the fruit and remaining orange juice and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve slices of the cake drizzled with the mango puree and sprinkled generously with the fruit compote. Garnish with mint and serve.
  • Wow! How tropical-fruity and the cake is light as air!
