CONTEST-WINNING CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Contest-Winning Chocolate Angel Food Cake image

When I take this different kind of angel food cake to church bake sales, it goes before I can get it on the table! I've always enjoyed cooking, especially baking. My other hobbies are embroidery, counted cross-stitch and taking care of my flowers and garden (I love to can). My husband and I are retired to our farm home; we have three sons, all grown, and four grandchildren.

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.

Yield 1 cake, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup sifted cake flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
11 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1 cup sweet butter
1/4 cup sifted cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • CAKE:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Sift flour, cocoa and 1/3 cup sugar 5 times.
  • Add salt to egg whites and beat until stiff.
  • Add cream of tartar to the egg whites and the balance of the sugar gradually, 1 Tablespoon at a time, beating until very stiff.

  • Pour batter into a 9" tube pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Total baking time is about 1 hour.
  • FROSTING:
  • Combine egg whites, water, vanilla, cream of tartar, and sugar in upper part of a double boiler.
  • Mix well, beat over heat until mixture stands up in peaks.
  • If electric beater is used, bring water in lower part of double boiler to a rapid boil and beat for about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from stove and beat 3 or 4 minutes at high speed until it stands in high peeks. Be careful not to scrape beater against bottom of pan as it will darken the mixture.
  • Allow the mixture to cool, keeping it covered with a damp cloth to prevent a crust from forming.
  • Cream butter thoroughly; add cocoa (use more cocoa if more intense flavor is desired) and salt.
  • Have marshmallow mixture and butter at about same temperature and consistency before combining them (otherwise, frosting will have a tendency to separate or curdle).
