Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sifted superfine sugar, divided
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
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine 1/2 cup of sugar with the flour and sift together 4 times. Set aside.
  • Place the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the eggs make 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. Whisk for a few minutes until thick and shiny. Whisk in the vanilla and lemon zest and continue to whisk until very thick, about 1 more minute. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold it into the batter with a rubber spatula. Continue adding the flour by fourths by sifting and folding until it's all incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top, and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes, until it springs back to the touch. Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan on a cooling rack until cool.

INCREDIBLY QUICK AND EASY LEMON GLAZE FOR ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Incredibly Quick and Easy Lemon Glaze For Angel Food Cake image

This quick and easy lemon glaze for angel food cake is the perfect way to add some sweetness, moisture, a drool-worthy texture to your cake.

Provided by Cakedecorist

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups powdered sugar
3-6 tablespoons 45-90 ml milk
1 tablespoon 15 ml lemon juice
Zest of 2 lemons

Steps:

  • Sieve the powdered sugar.It is extremely important to sift your icing sugar well - three times if you have to! There shouldn't be any lumps or granules of powdered sugar, otherwise, it will show in the final texture of your glaze.
  • Add the remaining ingredients.Add 3 tablespoons of milk and the lemon juice to the powdered sugar and whisk the ingredients well. You can add more milk to the mixture to help thin the consistency, but 3 tablespoons are a good starting point.Only once you are happy with the consistency should you add the lemon zest. This is also, in our opinion, a crucial addition that will add that extra lemony punch!
  • Glaze your cake.You do not need to heat the glaze before pouring it over your angel food cake. You can simply give it a good whisk and pour immediately. This lemon glaze recipe is fantastic because it has a nice thick consistency that will sit beautifully on top of the cake instead of thinning or running down completely.

LEMON-GLAZED LEMON ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Lemon-Glazed Lemon Angel Food Cake image

If you're in a super duper hurry, you can buy an already prepared angel food cake but when you have the time, this version is scrumptious. This recipe calls for lemon oil, which can be hard to find in some areas of the country. Try it with lemon extract but keep your eye out for lemon oil, available in specialty food stores.

Categories     dessert

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 cups egg whites, at room temperature (about 9 large eggs)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon lemon oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sifted sugar
1 cup cake flour, sifted three times

2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

  • Beat egg whites until frothy; add salt, cream of tartar and lemon oil and vanilla extract. Continue beating until they form stiff but not dry peaks. Using a rubber spatula, gradually fold in the sugar a few tablespoons at a time.
  • Using the same rubber spatula, gradually fold in the flour, one quarter at a time. Be sure that you use a true folding motion, gently turning the spatula from the bottom of the bowl to the top, folding in air with each stroke as opposed to beating or stirring. You just went to all that work the whip up the egg whites, don't want to beat them to death.
  • Pour batter into an ungreased, 9-inch angel food cake pan (you know the one with the tube in the center, not a bundt pan).
  • Bake one hour or until top is golden brown and the cake pulls away from pan sides.
  • Remove cake from oven . Cool in the pan ten minutes and then invert pan and let cake stand upside down for an hour or until cooled.
  • You might let the cake stand over a plate in case your oven was funky and the cake plops out of the pan prematurely. Hey, it happens.
  • While cake is cooling prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Let stand ten minutes before glazing the cake as it thickens a little. Serve immediately.
