Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
1 3/4 cups superfine sugar
14 large egg whites (1 3/4 cups), room temperature
1 tablespoon warm water
4 drops rose gel-paste food coloring
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
16 ounces strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups (1 pint) sour cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a fine-mesh sieve to sift together flour and 3/4 cup superfine sugar 4 times.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat together egg whites, water, food coloring, and 3/4 cup sugar on medium speed until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla; whisk until meringue is stiff but not dry.
  • Transfer meringue to a large bowl. In six additions, sift flour mixture on top, folding in quickly but gently.
  • Transfer batter to an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and springy to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine the berries, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup superfine sugar in a small nonreactive bowl. Set aside to macerate while the cake is cooling, about 1 hour. In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream, confectioners' sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  • Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the pan to release cake. Invert onto serving platter. Serve with macerated berries and sweetened sour cream.

LOAF PAN ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Loaf Pan Angel Food Cake image

Angel food cake is usually one of those fussy cakes I prefer to avoid. Anything that requires special pans and beating and sifting or other steps beyond "dump ingredients into a bowl" is generally more than I want to bother with. For this easy version, I simplified the process and ended up with two heavenly loaves: one to photograph and share, and another to eat all by myself.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield Two 9-by-5-inch loaf cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature (from about 10 large eggs) (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 vanilla bean pod, seeds scraped, or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with aluminum foil, allowing the foil to hang over the long sides by at least 1 inch. Do not grease the pans.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at medium speed just until they start to look foamy, for 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and cream of tartar and beat on high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add the sugar in a slow, steady stream and beat until thickened and shiny, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the orange extract and vanilla bean seeds, then decrease to the lowest speed. Add the flour and salt mixture in a steady stream and beat until just combined.
  • Turn off the mixer as soon as all the flour is added. Fold the mixture with a rubber spatula once or twice to make sure the flour is fully incorporated. Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared pans.
  • Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until puffed and slightly golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool the cakes upside down by balancing the edges of each pan on two cans or jars, 15 to 20 minutes. Once completely cooled, remove the cakes from the pan, peel off the foil and serve.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE IN A SPRINGFORM PAN RECIPE BY TASTY



Angel Food Cake In A Springform Pan Recipe by Tasty image

Serve this tender, light-as-air cake in spring or summer, topped with your favorite seasonal fruit (we used strawberries), for a slice of heaven in every bite. Most angel food recipes require a specific tube pan, but this one shows you how to make the cake with just a soda can, a nonstick springform pan, and some tape.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup cake flour, not self-rising
1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
9 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch of salt
1 ¼ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 lb fresh strawberry , hulled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 cups whipped cream
1 aluminum springform pan, 10 inch (25 1/2 cm)
1 tall aluminum can

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  • Place a medium mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill.
  • Cut a round of parchment paper to the same circumference as the base of the pan, with a hole in the center that is the same circumference as the can. Line the springform with the parchment. Cover the sides of the can completely with parchment, securing with tape and making sure that the tape is covered by parchment.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour and ½ cup (100 grams) of the sugar together.
  • In a large bowl, combine the egg whites, vanilla extract, salt, and cream of tartar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until soft peaks form. You will know when they've reached the soft peak stage because the whites will just barely be able to hold their shape.
  • Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually add the remaining cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks. This may take up to 10-12 minutes. You will know that you are getting close to stiff peaks when the whites turn very glossy with a satin-like appearance. Lift the beater out of the bowl and check if the peak stands straight up in a point with no curling at the tip. Once it does, your ready for the next step.
  • Sift the flour and sugar mixture into the egg whites, about ⅓ cup (80 ml) at a time. Using a large flexible spatula, carefully fold in the flour until there are no clumps left. Be careful not to overmix at this point, which will deflate the batter and decrease the volume of the cake.
  • Add ¼ cup (60 ml) water to the can to weigh it down, so it stays steady in the springform pan.
  • Carefully transfer the batter to the prepared pan, working your way around the aluminum can and smoothing the top of the batter with the flexible spatula.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cake has risen completely, nearly reached the top of the pan, and the top is evenly golden brown with a few cracks. The top of the cake should spring back when gently pressed with your fingertip. If there is any indentation left, the cake needs to bake for longer. Return to the oven and check every 5 minutes.
  • Remove the springform pan from the oven. Pour out any excess water from the can, then replace can and immediately invert the pan over a wire rack. (The soda can will prop up the cake while it cools, allowing air to circulate around it.) Let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the strawberries. In a medium bowl, toss to combine the sliced strawberries with the lemon juice and sugar. Refrigerate the berries until you are ready to serve the cake.
  • Remove the aluminum can from the center of the cake. Carefully run a knife along the outer edge of the pan to release the cake (it should release easily). Remove the parchment paper.
  • Top the cake with whipped cream and macerated strawberries.
  • Enjoy!

1 cup sifted cake flour or 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
6 drops red food coloring
2 egg whites
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
red food coloring

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • For the Cake: Place the 12 egg whites in a very large mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together 3 times.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl).
  • Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
  • Sift about one-fourth of the flour mixture over beaten egg whites; fold in gently. Repeat sifting and folding in the remaining flour mixture three more times, using one-fourth of the flour mixture each time.
  • Divide batter in half.
  • Fold extract and food coloring into one half.
  • Alternately spoon pink and white batters into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
  • Gently cut through batter with a knife, swirling gently.
  • Bake cake on the lowest rack in the preheated 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched.
  • Immediately invert the cake in the pan, standing the tube pan on its legs or resting the center tube over a tall-necked bottle. Cool thoroughly.
  • Remove cake from pan.
  • Frost with Pink Peppermint Frosting when cake has cooled thoroughly.
  • Serve at room temperature.
  • Store any leftover cake in refrigerator.
  • For the Pink Peppermint Frosting: Place the 2 egg whites in a bowl.

  • Beat egg whites using an electric mixer at medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tip curl).
  • Slowly add hot syrup to egg whites, pouring in a steady stream, while beating.
  • Continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form (tips stand straight).

Tips:

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Use a light touch when folding the egg whites into the batter. Over-mixing will deflate the egg whites and make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking. This will let heat escape and cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

The perfect angel food cake is light, fluffy, and delicate. It's the perfect dessert for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a delicious angel food cake at home. For more variations of this classic recipe, here are some additional tips to try:

  • Add 1/2 cup of fresh berries to the batter for a fruity twist.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped nuts on top of the cake before baking for a crunchy topping.
  • Make a glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk. Drizzle the glaze over the cake after it has cooled.
  • Serve the cake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream for a delicious dessert.
