CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES



Chocolate Angel Food Cake with Strawberries image

"When it's really hot, I like a lighter dessert. The chocolate makes it still feel decadent."

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the strawberries:
3 cups strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a sheet of waxed paper, sift the cake flour with 3/4 cup of the sugar and the cocoa 4 times.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites along with a pinch of salt until foamy, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cream of tartar over the egg whites and continue to beat until they hold a soft peak, about 5 minutes. Beating continuously, add the vanilla and gradually stream in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until the egg whites are thick, glossy and stiff.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer, and using a spatula, gradually fold in the flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time, until there are no more pockets of dry ingredients. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 9-inch tube pan. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, invert, and allow the cake to cool on a rack 1 hour before loosening the cake from the pan with a knife and unmolding.
  • Meanwhile, make the strawberries: Sprinkle the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Stir to coat and let stand about 30 minutes to allow the juices to develop. Top each cake slice with strawberries and their juices before serving.

This is a yummy change to standard Angel Food cake. It has a light and delicate flavor and hits the spot of that chocolate craving. Note: for best flavor and texture, serve the cake on the day it's made and be sure to avoid any traces of yolk in the egg whites, which would prevent them from whipping to their fullest.

1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon fine salt

2/3 cup heavy cream
Dash fine salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
1 to 2 ounces shaved semisweet chocolate, optional, for garnish

Steps:

  • Gather the cake ingredients.
  • Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Alternatively, use an electric hand mixer. Let stand for about 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, sift 1 cup of granulated sugar, cake flour, and cocoa into a medium bowl. Sift again and set aside (reserve the sifter, you will use it again). Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy.
  • Add the cream of tartar and beat on high speed, gradually adding the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue beating for 3 to 5 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  • Sift half of the flour-cocoa mixture over the beaten egg whites and gently fold it in with a spatula until blended but still streaky.
  • Sift the remaining flour-cocoa mixture over the egg whites and continue folding until well combined.
  • Spoon the batter into a two-piece 9.5-inch tube pan. Run a butter knife or spatula through the batter to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake the cake for about 38 to 42 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.

  • Pour the cream into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until steaming hot. Do not let the cream boil.
  • Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until melted. If there are still lumps of chocolate, place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir until smooth. Alternatively, microwave on low in short bursts, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth.
  • Let the chocolate mixture stand, stirring every 15 minutes, until cooled to room temperature, about 70 F to 75 F. Cooling will take about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Add a pinch of salt, the vanilla, and 2 to 3 pieces of butter to the chocolate mixture. Beat with an electric mixer with whisk attachment on low speed, adding the butter a few pieces at a time until smooth and well combined. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

GRILLED ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CITRUS COMPOTE



Grilled Angel Food Cake with Citrus Compote image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ruby red grapefruits
2 navel oranges
2 blood oranges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
A handful of fresh mint, plus some leaves for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
Zest of 1 ruby red grapefruit
One 7-to-8-inch store bought angel food cake

Steps:

  • For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
  • For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.

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.

  • 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.

12 large egg whites (about 1-2/3 cups)
1 cup cake flour
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
1 vanilla bean (see Editor's Note) or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
1 cup (6 ounces) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
1 tablespoon amaretto
1 tablespoon sugar
GLAZE:
1 cup (6 ounces) 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons amaretto
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix flour and 3/4 cup sugar until blended., Add seeds from vanilla bean (or extract if using), cream of tartar and salt to egg whites. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time., Gently transfer batter to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack 45-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely in pan, about 1-1/2 hours., For filling, in a large microwave-safe bowl, combine baking chips, 1/4 cup cream and amaretto; microwave on high for 60-90 seconds or until chocolate is melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Continue stirring until mixture is smooth and glossy; cool to lukewarm (90°), about 25-30 minutes., Meanwhile, run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Using a serrated knife, cut a 1-in. slice off top of cake. Hollow out remaining cake, leaving a 1-in.-thick shell (save removed cake for another use). In a small bowl, beat remaining 3/4 cup cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar; beat until soft peaks form., Fold whipped cream into lukewarm chocolate; spoon into tunnel. Replace cake top. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight., For glaze, place baking chips in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, combine cream and sugar; bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour over baking chips; stir with a whisk until smooth. Stir in amaretto. Cool slightly, about 15 minutes., Unwrap cake; pour glaze over top, allowing some to drip down sides. Sprinkle with almonds.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 angel food cake
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 1/2 cups milk
1 (3 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix (4-serving size)

Steps:

  • Place cake on a serving platter, slice a 1 inch layer from top of cake and set aside.
  • Cut around cake 1 inch from outer edge down to 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Then cut around cake 1 inch from inner edge down to 1 inch layer on bottom.
  • Create a tunnel in middle of cake by removing the tunneled out cake pieces and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix.
  • Beat on low for 2 minutes.
  • Fold cake pieces and 1-3/4 cups of whipped topping into pudding.
  • Fill trench with pudding mixture.
  • Replace top of cake.
  • Spread remaining whipped topping over top and sides of cake.
  • (AT this point I dust top of cake with a mixture of cocoa that has been mixed with a little powdered sugar) Refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Before you start grilling, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. This includes measuring out the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. You will also need a 10-inch angel food cake pan, a grill, and a basting brush.
  • Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the cake and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Grease the Pan: Generously grease the angel food cake pan with cooking spray. This will help the cake to release easily from the pan after it is grilled.
  • Pour the Batter into the Pan: Pour the cake batter into the prepared angel food cake pan. Spread the batter out evenly so that it is level.
  • Grill the Cake: Place the angel food cake pan on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Baste the Cake: While the cake is grilling, baste it with melted butter every 5-10 minutes. This will help to keep the cake moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the Cake Cool: Once the cake is grilled, remove it from the grill and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the Cake: Slice the cake and serve it warm with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Grilling an angel food cake is a fun and easy way to enjoy this classic dessert. By following these tips, you can make a delicious grilled angel food cake that is sure to impress your friends and family. So, fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy a sweet and smoky treat!
