Yield Makes eight 5-inch mini cakes

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 large egg whites (1 3/4 cups)
1 1/2 cups light-brown sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
Espresso ice cream
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup light cream or evaporated milk
1/8 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites and sugar on medium speed until foamy; add cream of tartar. Increase speed to high; beat egg whites until tripled in volume, stiff, and glossy. Transfer egg white mixture to a large bowl; fold in flour in three additions.
  • Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch round tip and pipe into ungreased mini angel food cake pans with removable bottoms. Smooth tops with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to pop air pockets. Bake until cakes are golden in color and spring back when gently pressed, about 25 minutes.
  • Invert pans over the necks of glass bottles and allow cakes to cool, at least 1 hour. To remove cakes from pans, run a knife around sides and center tube of pans. Release cakes from sides and run a long knife along the bottom of the cakes, freeing them from the tube.
  • Make the hot fudge sauce: Combine all ingredients except the vanilla in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Boil the mixture briskly for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Serve the cakes with hot fudge sauce and espresso ice cream.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute something else for the almonds in this recipe?

Has anyone tried using a different type of sugar in this recipe? I'm wondering if it would affect the flavor.

I'm curious about the texture of this cake. Is it more dense or fluffy?

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dense and dry. Not sure what went wrong.

This angel food cake recipe is a true winner! The brown sugar adds a lovely caramel flavor and a moist, tender crumb. I love that it's not overly sweet, allowing the natural flavors to shine through. My family devoured it in no time!
