Whole Wheat Angel Food Cake image

Angel food cake is often a favorite dessert of dieters because it is very low in fat. This version is even healthier because it is made with whole wheat. I adapted this version slightly from a recipe floating around the internet, but I believe the original recipe was put out by Hodgson Mill. I have not tried this, but I did compare it with other highly-rated angel food cake recipes on 'Zaar and the proportions and instructions do seem correct. Prep time does not include seperating all those eggs!!

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup whole wheat flour or 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla or 2 teaspoons almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • If you're not using whole wheat pastry flour, whirr the flour in a blender, food processor or other grinder until fine (This might be kind of hard, but it won't be the end of the world if its not super-fine).
  • Sift together flour and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Mix in 3/4 cup sugar with a fork or wisk.
  • You want this to be aerated, so you can probably even sift in the sugar with the cornstarch and flour, if you want.
  • Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and add salt and cream of tartar.
  • Beat until whites form soft peaks.
  • Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar and extract (s) and beat until mixed.
  • Not beating, gently fold in about 1/3 of flour mixture at a time (a large rubber spatula is best for this).
  • Pour into angel food cake pan and bake for about 1 hour or until cake is springy when poked.
  • Invert to cool and allow cake to cool completely before removing from pan.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dense and dry, and it didn't have much flavor. I won't be making this cake again.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The cake was dry and crumbly, and it didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my old angel food cake recipe.
