ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE
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.

- 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!
TUTTI-FRUTTI POUND CAKE
We tweaked a favorite ice cream flavor from way back to make a treat for all ages. The exceptionally moist cream-cheese pound cake gets split and filled -- three times -- with a luscious mousse flavored with pureed cooked peaches and studded with chopped fresh peaches and cherries. Because it's thickened with gelatin, the mousse gets nice and firm, then stays that way when layered in the cake -- and in every last slice.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Coat parchment with cooking spray, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
- Beat butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy. Add granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture, beating to combine.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Bake on a baking sheet until a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 10 minutes, tenting with foil after 50 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack, then turn out onto rack, top-side up, and let cool completely, about 3 hours.
- Slice cake in half horizontally. Slice each portion in half again to create 4 equal slices.
- Filling: Bring 2 cups peaches, granulated sugar, salt, and 1/3 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until fruit is tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then puree mixture in a food processor until smooth (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
- Prepare an ice-water bath. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Let sit until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat over medium, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in peach mixture to combine. Transfer to a large bowl; place in ice bath and let stand, stirring frequently, until beginning to set, about 6 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups peaches and cherries. Whisk cream to stiff peaks, then fold into peach mixture. Continue stirring over ice bath until mixture will hold its shape when dropped off a spoon.
- Line loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all sides. Place bottom cake layer in pan. Spread 1 cup peach mixture over cake. Repeat with remaining cake layers and filling, ending with top cake layer. Wrap plastic around cake and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days, before removing from pan using plastic. (If desired, trim edges of assembled cake.) Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
