ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE



Angel Food Cake with Tropical Fruit Compote image

Provided by Anne Burrell

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!

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.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE



Angel Food Cake - Homemade image

This is a MUST if you have never tried a homemade Angel Food Cake. I never liked Angel Food Cakes until the neighbor lady invited me over for coffee shortly after I was married. That was almost 15 years ago, and my children and husband always ask for this for special occasions. Thank you Artie, for being a wonderful friend and for the recipe!

Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup cake flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
12 large egg whites, MUST be room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
  • DO NOT GREASE PAN.
  • I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
  • Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
  • Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
  • If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
  • Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
  • Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
  • (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
  • Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
  • Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
  • Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
  • To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
  • Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
  • You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
  • Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
  • No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
  • Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
