CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE II



Chocolate Angel Food Cake II image

This is a yummy change to standard Angel Food cake. It has a light and delicate flavor and hits the spot of that chocolate craving. Note: for best flavor and texture, serve the cake on the day it's made and be sure to avoid any traces of yolk in the egg whites, which would prevent them from whipping to their fullest.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup cake flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, grated
12 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). If it does not have a removable bottom, line a 9 inch tube pan with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, cocoa and 3/4 cup of the sugar. Set aside. Measure 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture and toss with the grated chocolate.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set at low speed, beat egg whites until foamy. Increase mixer speed to medium, stir in cream of tartar and salt, and continue to beat until egg whites form soft peaks. Gradually mix in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in the vanilla and lemon juice.
  • Gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites, then fold in the grated chocolate, stirring just until no white streaks remain.
  • Gently scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface of the batter and tap the pan lightly to remove any air bubbles. Bake in center of the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the surface springs back when touched. Cool completely, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving, if desired.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE II

Some people like to make an angel food cake as a birthday cake. I have made this one before, and it was great. I made a butter icing, and just tinted the color I wanted. I put in those little dragees you see in the store inside the batter.

THE BEST ANGEL FOOD CAKE



The Best Angel Food Cake image

Even though there are just a few ingredients in this simple cake, there are also a few techniques that will make or break it. First, be sure to use the correct pan -- an angel food cake pan -- and do not grease it. Additionally, superfine sugar, sifted cake flour and perfectly whipped egg whites are key components that set you up for success -- and set this cake apart from the rest.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups superfine sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
12 large egg whites, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups bleached cake flour (not self-rising), such as Swan's Down, sifted (177 grams) (see Cook's Note)
Berries and whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the sugar, cream of tartar and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • Add the egg whites and 2 tablespoons water to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on low speed until the whites are foamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and slowly sprinkle in the sugar mixture (this should take about 3 minutes). Watching closely, continue beating until medium-soft peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes longer. (You want the mixture to droop when lifted out of the bowl. If the peaks stand straight up, you have taken it too far and the cake will sink during baking). Add the vanilla and mix until just combined.
  • Remove the mixing bowl from the stand and working in three additions, very gently fold the flour into the egg whites until just incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch footed angel food cake pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake until the top is golden and springs back when touched and a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the cake upside-down on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan, about 3 hours.
  • Run a knife or a small offset spatula around the edges of the pan and gently tap it on the counter until it releases from the pan. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the cake -- a regular knife will smash it. Serve with berries and whipped cream.

Angel Food Cake II Recipes: What Makes Them Different from Regular Angel Food Cake?

The Basics of Angel Food Cake
Angel food cake is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed by generations of Americans. This light and fluffy cake is made with whipped egg whites, sugar, flour, and cream of tartar. It has a delicate texture and a spongy, cloud-like appearance that is achieved through careful preparation and baking. Angel food cake is a great dessert for anyone who wants to indulge in something sweet without feeling weighed down. It is low in fat and calories and is a good source of protein, making it a healthier option compared to other types of cakes.
Angel Food Cake II: What Makes It Different?
Angel food cake II is a variation of the classic recipe that adds a few extra ingredients to give the cake a richer flavor and texture. Some of the most common ingredients used in angel food cake II recipes include vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest. These ingredients add a subtle hint of flavor to the cake that compliments the sweetness of the sugar and the lightness of the whipped egg whites. They also give the cake a slightly denser texture, making it more substantial and satisfying. Another key difference between angel food cake II and regular angel food cake is the presence of a bundt pan. Most angel food cake recipes call for a tube pan, which allows the cake to rise evenly and prevents it from sticking to the sides of the pan. However, angel food cake II recipes typically use a bundt pan, which adds a decorative touch to the cake and makes it easier to slice and serve.
Angel Food Cake II Variations
There are countless variations of the angel food cake II recipe, each with its own unique twist on the classic dessert. Here are just a few examples: - Chocolate angel food cake: This recipe calls for the addition of unsweetened cocoa powder to give the cake a rich chocolate flavor. - Coconut angel food cake: Shredded coconut is added to the batter to give the cake a tropical twist. - Strawberry angel food cake: Fresh strawberries are pureed and added to the batter to give the cake a fruity flavor and a soft pink hue. - Lemon angel food cake: Lemon juice and zest are added to the batter to give the cake a tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar. - Angel food cake trifle: This recipe uses angel food cake as the base for a layered dessert that includes whipped cream, fresh fruit, and pudding.
Tips for Making the Perfect Angel Food Cake II
Making a perfect angel food cake II requires careful attention to detail and a few key techniques. Here are some tips to help you achieve the best results: - Use room temperature eggs: This will help the egg whites whip up more quickly and efficiently. - Sift the flour and sugar: This will remove any lumps and ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed. - Use cream of tartar: This acid helps to stabilize the egg whites and produces a light and fluffy texture. - Don't overmix: Overmixing the batter can cause it to deflate and result in a dense, heavy cake. - Invert the cake: Once you have removed the cake from the oven, immediately turn it upside down onto a wire rack to cool. This will help prevent the cake from collapsing and will give it a fluffier texture. In conclusion, angel food cake II recipes are a delicious twist on the classic dessert that add new flavors and textures to an old favorite. Whether you prefer a fruity, chocolatey, or plain vanilla version, there is an angel food cake II recipe out there to suit every taste.

Angel food cake is a light and airy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It was named ‘Angel cake’ because of its heavenly texture with a cloud-like feel to it. It is a fat-free and gluten-free dessert that is low in calories compared to other desserts. If you are planning to bake an angel food cake, read on for some valuable tips that you can follow to make the perfect angel food cake. Tips for making Angel Food Cake: 1. Use room temperature eggs: It is essential to use room temperature eggs as it helps in the formation of a stable foam while whipping. Eggs at room temperature will whip up quicker and will keep the cake more stable. 2. Use a clean and dry bowl: Make sure the bowl you are using to whip the egg whites is clean and dry. Any dirt or moisture in the bowl can trap air and prevent the egg whites from expanding. This can result in a dense cake with a rubbery texture. 3. Use cream of tartar: Cream of tartar is a white crystalline powder made from tartaric acid. It is often used in recipes for stabilizing and maintaining the structure of whipped egg whites. Adding a pinch of cream of tartar to the egg whites will help them rise better and become more stable. 4. Sift the dry ingredients: It is important to sift the dry ingredients, including the flour and sugar, before mixing them with the whipped egg whites. Sifting helps to remove any lumps in the dry ingredients and ensures that they are evenly distributed in the cake batter. 5. Add dry ingredients gradually: When adding the sifted dry ingredients to the whipped egg whites, do it gradually. Folding in too much flour at once can cause the egg whites to deflate, resulting in a dense cake. Instead, fold in the flour and sugar mixture gradually until it is fully incorporated. 6. Use a tube pan: Angel food cakes require a tube pan to achieve their characteristic light and airy texture. The tube in the center of the pan allows the cake to cook evenly and helps it to rise higher. Using a non-stick tube pan is recommended as it makes it easier to remove the cake without damaging it. 7. Invert the pan: After baking the cake, invert the tube pan immediately onto a cooling rack. This will prevent the cake from collapsing or becoming dense. Leaving the cake in the pan can cause it to become trapped in the condensation that forms, resulting in a soggy cake. 8. Cool the cake upside down: The cake needs to be cooled upside down to maintain its structure and prevent it from collapsing. Use a bottle or a cooling rack specifically designed for inverted cooling to hold the cake upside down until it is completely cooled. 9. Use a serrated knife: When slicing the angel food cake, use a serrated knife to prevent the delicate cake from becoming compressed. A straight-edged blade will squash the cake and leave it dense rather than light and fluffy. 10. Use fresh ingredients: Using fresh ingredients is crucial when baking an angel food cake. Old or stale ingredients can negatively impact the texture and taste of the cake. Always check the expiration date and ensure that the ingredients are fresh before using them. Conclusion: Angel food cake is a wonderful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With the valuable tips mentioned above, you can easily make the perfect angel food cake that is light, airy, and delicious. Remember to use fresh ingredients, room temperature eggs, and a clean and dry bowl. Sift the dry ingredients, add them gradually, and use a tube pan for baking. Invert the pan, cool the cake upside down, and use a serrated knife for slicing. By following these tips, you are sure to impress your family and guests with your homemade angel food cake.
