Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cake flour (not self rising)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 large egg whites, at room temperature (1 1/3-1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 350. You'll need a 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Line bottom with nonstick foil, cutting to fit around the tube; place into pan.
  • Whisk together cake flour, 1/4 cup sugar and the salt; transfer mixture to a sieve set over a small bowl.
  • In large bowl, beat the egg whites with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes until frothy and well blended. Add the cream of tartar; increase speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks start to form, about 3 minutes. While still beating, add the remaining 1 cup sugar in a slow stream; continue to beat until whites are very thick and hold firm peaks when beaters are lifted, about 3 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Transfer mixture to a large, wide bowl. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture over whites; fold in with a rubber spatula. Repeat twice with the remaining flour, folding in until incorporated. Scrape batter into pan and spread evenly. Run a knife through the batter to remove any air pockets.
  • Bake 35 minutes, or until top of cake springs back when pressed with fingertip or a skewer inserted into cake comes out clean. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely, upside down.
  • To loosen cake, run a knife around all sides of pan. Lift cake out of pan by tube. Loosen cake from bottom; invert to unmold.
  • Heavenly Bananas Foster Bread Pudding: 1/2 baked angel food cake cut into cubes (6 cups), 2 1/4 cups milk, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup spiced rum, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 3 sliced 1/2-inch thick firm ripe bananas, confectioners' sugar for dusting, lowfat vanilla ice cream (optional). Heat oven to 350. Spread out angel food cake cubes on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, tossing three times, until lightly toasted and dry. Turn off oven. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, rum and vanilla in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Gently stir in cake cubes and banana slices; pour into an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover dish with foil. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature for cake cubes to absorb most of the milk mixture. Heat oven to 350. Bake, covered, 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue to bake 25 minutes or until pudding is set. Let stand 15 minutes. Dust top with confectioners' sugar. Serve with small scoops of vanilla ice cream. Serves 8.
  • Lemon Angel Torte: Cake: 1/2 recipe angel food cake batter. Lemon Filling: 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/3 cup each orange juice and water, 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream, 1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds, confectioners' sugar for dusting. Cake: Line a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with double thickness of nonstick foil extending 2-inches over ends of pan. Prepare batter adding 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest instead of the vanilla extract in step 3. Bake 28 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into center comes out clean. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely. To loosen cake, run a knife around long sides of pan. Lift out of pan by foil ends and place in freezer with foil to firm up. Lemon Filling: Sprinkle gelatin over water in small cup to soften. In medium saucepan, whisk sugar and cornstarch until blended. Stir in lemon zest and juice, orange juice and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a gentle boil. Stir in gelatin. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Transfer to a bowl; stir in sour cream. Cover surface of filling with plastic wrap; let cool to room temperature. To assemble torte using a serrated knife, cut cake lengthwise into three even layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup Lemon Filling. Top with a second layer; spread with another 1/2 cup filling. Place last layer on top, cut side down. Spread sides of torte with remaining filling. Press almonds around sides of torte. Refrigerate 1 hour. To serve dust top with confectioners' sugar. Using the back of a large knife, score the sugar into a diamond pattern, or sear the score lines by placing a 12-inch metal skewer over a stovetop burner until end is red hot. Use a kitchen towel to pick up skewer; singe diamond pattern into sugar. Serves 8.
  • Frozen Berry Angel Shortcake: Prepare angel food cake with these changes. Line the bottom of 9x3-inch springform pan with nonstick foil, then attach the sides of the pan. Substitute raspberry extract for the vanilla in step 3, and add 3 drops liquid red food color with the extract. Spread in prepared pan and bake as directed. Cool the cake completely, in pan, upside down on a wire rack. To loosen cake, run a thin bladed knife around sides of pan; remove pan sides. Invert cake and remove pan bottom. To assemble shortcake using a serrated knife, cut cake into 2 layers. Place bottom layer, cut side up, on pan bottom and spread with 1/3 cup strawberry topping. Spoon 3 cups slightly softened lowfat strawberry ice cream or frozen yogurt over topping. Spread another 1/3 cup strawberry topping over ice cream. Top with remaining cake layer, cut side down. Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight. (Once the cake is frozen, it can be wrapped and stored in freezer up to 2 weeks). To serve transfer frozen cake to a serving plate. Frost with 2 cups thawed lite whipped topping or lightly sweetened whipped cream. Decorate with strawberries or raspberries. Refrigerate 30 minutes to soften slightly before serving. Serves 12.
  • Chocolate Speckled Angel Cake: Prepare angel food with the changes. After adding flour in step 4, fold 2oz finely chopped bittersweet chocolate and 1 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest into batter. Spread in prepared tube pan; bake as directed. Cool cake and remove from pan as directed. To serve place cake on a serving plate. In a 1-cup glass measure, combine 2oz chopped bittersweet chocolate, 4 teaspoons butter and 2 teaspoons light cornsyrup. Microwave on high 45-60 seconds until melted; whisk mixture until glaze is smooth. Let stand 1 hour or until glaze sets. If desired, garnish the top of the cake with 3.5oz chocolate bar (we used Lindt's intense orange dark chocolate with almond slivers) cut into small triangles. Arrange chocolate pieces in glazed or serve alongside cake. Serves 12.
  • Peach Melba Cupcakes: Prepare angel food with these changes. You'll need 24 jumbo paper cupcake liners. Double up the liners, 2 per cupcake, and arrange on a large baking sheet. After adding flour in step 4, spoon the batter into a gallon-size ziptop bag; seal bag and cut off a 1/2-inch corner. Pipe the batter into the liners, filling each almost to the top. Smooth tops with an offset spatula. Bake 20 minutes, or until pick inserted in centers come out clean. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack. Melba Sauce: puree in a blender 1 thawed 10oz package frozen raspberries in syrup. Scrape berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over medium bowl to remove seeds; discard seeds. To assemble cupcakes you'll need 1 thawed 1-pound bag frozen sliced peaches (any thick slices should be cut into thinner slices). If desired, toss peaches with 1/4 cup sugar. Carefully peel back inner paper liner; remove cupcake. Slice off rounded top with a serrated knife; cut top into quarters. Place cupcake bottom back into outer paper liner and spoon some Melba Sauce over cut surface. Top with a dollop of whipped nondairy topping. Place 3-4 peach slices into whipped topping. Drizzle with more sauce; add another dollop of whipped topping. Stick cupcake top quarters into cream. Serves 12.

CELEBRATION ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Celebration Angel Food Cake image

This cake is different in that it has red, white and blue sprinkles which makes it perfect for 4th of July! Change the color of the sprinkles and you can use this for any celebration! And now a little history: Angel food cake is also called ice cream cake (a Pennsylvania Dutch wedding cake). It is felt that the abundance of cake molds in southeastern Pennsylvania, one of the major producer of cake molds, indicates that the angel food cake originated there in the early 1800s. Some historians think that the first angel food cakes were probably baked by African-American slaves from the South because making this cake required a strong beating arm and lots of labor to whip the air into the whites. Angel food cakes are also a traditional African-American favorite for post-funeral feasting.

Angel food sheet cake for striped ice cream cake recipes is a dessert that combines two beloved treats in a delicious and visually stunning way. It is a perfect treat for summer gatherings or any occasion where you want to impress your friends and family with a beautiful and tasty dessert. In this article, we will explore what angel food sheet cake is, how it is made, and some tips on how to create a beautiful and delicious striped ice cream cake using this cake as a base.

What is Angel Food Sheet Cake?

Angel food cake is a light and airy cake that is made using egg whites, sugar, flour, and flavorings such as vanilla or almond extract. The result is a cake that is both fluffy and tender, with a slightly sweet flavor. Angel food sheet cake is a variation of the classic angel food cake that is baked in a rectangular pan, making it easier to slice and serve. This cake is perfect for layering with ice cream or frosting, which is why it is often used as a base for ice cream cakes.

How to Make Angel Food Sheet Cake

Making angel food sheet cake requires a few specific techniques to ensure that the cake turns out perfectly. Here are some tips on how to make this cake:
Start with Room Temperature Ingredients
One of the most important things to remember when making angel food cake is to start with room temperature ingredients. This is especially true for the egg whites, as they will whip up much better if they are not cold. Be sure to let the eggs sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before you start.
Whip the Egg Whites to Stiff Peaks
The next step is to whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer. Be sure to gradually add the sugar while you are whipping the egg whites, as this will help stabilize the mixture and give you a better result.
Fold in the Flour and Flavorings
Once the egg whites are whipped, you can fold in the flour and any flavorings you are using. Be sure to do this gently, as you don't want to deflate the egg whites too much. The key is to combine everything until you have a homogeneous batter that is not lumpy.
Bake the Cake in a Sheet Pan
Finally, you will want to bake the cake in a sheet pan. Be sure to use a nonstick pan or line your pan with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking. The cake will take about 25 to 30 minutes to bake, and you will know it is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Using Angel Food Sheet Cake for Striped Ice Cream Cakes

Now that you know how to make angel food sheet cake, you can use it as a base for your striped ice cream cakes. Here are some tips on how to create a beautiful and delicious dessert:
Cut the Cake into Layers
The first step is to cut your angel food sheet cake into layers. You can do this by placing the cake on a cutting board and using a serrated knife to carefully slice through the cake. Aim for layers that are about 1 inch thick, as this will give you a good balance of cake and ice cream.
Create a Striped Effect
To create a striped effect in your ice cream cake, you will want to layer different flavors of ice cream or sorbet between the cake layers. Be sure to let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading it on the cake, as this will make it easier to work with. You can also use a spatula to smooth out the layers and make sure they are even.
Decorate the Cake
Finally, you can decorate your striped ice cream cake by adding whipped cream, fresh fruit, or other toppings. You can also use food coloring to create a more colorful effect if you like. The key is to let your creativity run wild and create a dessert that is both beautiful and delicious.

Conclusion

Angel food sheet cake for striped ice cream cake recipes is a delicious and visually stunning dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings or any occasion where you want to impress your guests. By following the tips outlined in this article, you can make a perfect angel food sheet cake and use it as a base for your own creative ice cream cakes. Whether you keep it simple or go all out with your decorations, you are sure to create a dessert that will delight everyone who tries it.

Valuable Tips When Making an Angel Food Sheet Cake for Striped Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Making an angel food sheet cake for striped ice cream cake recipes can be intimidating for even the most experienced home baker. It can be challenging to create a perfectly light and fluffy cake without any cracks, and folding in the ice cream to make stripes is also tricky. Here are some valuable tips to help you make the perfect angel food sheet cake for your striped ice cream cake:

1. Use a clean bowl and beaters

The key to making a tasty angel food cake is to have the egg whites whipped up properly. Any traces of oil, fat or yolk in the bowl or on the beaters will make it difficult to achieve that desired volume. When beating egg whites, keep in mind that it's important to use a clean bowl and clean beaters. Make sure to clean them with hot, soapy water and thoroughly dry them before use.

2. Make sure your egg whites and other ingredients are at room temperature

The temperature of the ingredients is important when it comes to making an angel food cake. Eggs that are too cold will not whip up as well as those that are at room temperature. Similarly, ingredients like sugar and flour that are too cold will not mix together properly. To prevent this, remember to take out the eggs and other ingredients from the fridge about 30 minutes before you start baking.

3. Invest in a good quality cake pan

Using the right pan to bake your angel food sheet cake is crucial. Angel food cakes are typically baked in tube pans, as they help the cake stay tall and fluffy. You can also use an angel food cake pan, which has a removable bottom to help separate the cake from the pan. One other option that works well is a round cake pan that is at least 3 inches deep, and has a removable bottom. Look for pans that are made of heavy gauge metal as they conduct heat more evenly and help prevent over-browning on the cake's edges.

4. Don't overbeat the egg whites

When it comes to whipping egg whites for an angel food cake, it's important not to overbeat them. Overbeating can lead to a dry and crumbly cake. Instead, aim for stiff peaks that are glossy and hold their shape, but not so stiff that they're dry and clumpy. A good rule of thumb is to lift the beaters out of the egg whites and check the tips, which should stand up straight without falling over.

5. Sift the dry ingredients

Sifting the dry ingredients together helps to create a light and airy batter. It also helps to mix in the ingredients evenly, which is important for achieving a consistent texture throughout the cake. Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the flour with the sugar and salt, and repeat the process a few times to make sure everything is mixed well.

6. Resist the urge to grease the pan

Angel food cakes need to cling to the sides of the pan as they bake because they will double in size as they rise. Greasing the pan can cause the cake to deflate and lose its lightness. To avoid this, use an ungreased pan and let the cake cool upside down on a cooling rack after baking, so that it doesn't shrink or collapse under its weight.

7. Make the stripes with soft ice cream

Folding the ice cream into the angel food cake is hard enough without dealing with rock-hard ice cream. To make things easier, let the ice cream soften slightly before folding it into the cake. Just make sure it's still frozen enough to hold its shape so that your stripes don't become a blob of melted ice cream. Work quickly and carefully as the soft ice cream can make your cake layer soggy if it's not all done in one go.

8. Freeze the cake overnight

Once the cake is assembled, it's time to freeze it so that the ice cream stripes set up properly. Wrap the cake tightly with plastic wrap and cover with foil, then freeze for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. This helps to ensure that the cake layers and ice cream are firm enough for serving, and also helps to combine the flavors.

9. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake

A serrated knife is the best tool to use for cutting an angel food cake. The delicate texture of the cake requires a sawing motion rather than a slicing motion to prevent it from getting squashed. Run the knife gently along the edges of the cake to release it from the pan, then saw the cake gently using a back and forth motion. Clean the knife between each slice for the neatest presentation.

10. Add a garnish before serving

To give your striped ice cream cake the perfect finishing touch, add a garnish before serving. Fresh fruit, berries, whipped cream or chocolate shavings all work well as a garnish. You can also drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the top for added sweetness.

By following these valuable tips, you can create a light and fluffy angel food sheet cake for your striped ice cream cake that is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. With a little patience and practice, you'll be an expert in no time!
