Marbled Angel Food Cake Recipe


Cake Ingredients





1 cup sifted cake flour


1 1/2 cups sifted icing sugar


12 large egg whites (or 1 7/8 cups)


1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar


1/4 tsp salt


1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)


1/2 tsp vanilla


1 cup granulated sugar


2 tbsp sifted cocoa


Icing Ingredients





3 tbsp soft butter


3 cups unsifted icing sugar


6 tbsp 10% cream


pinch of salt


15 drops yellow food coloring


2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted


Method for the Marbled Angel Cake Recipe





Sift the flour and icing sugar together at least twice.





In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, salt, almond extract and vanilla until foamy. As you beat, sprinkle the granulated sugar over top, two tablespoons at a time. Mix for approximately twenty minutes, until the batter is very stiff.





Remove the beaters. Carefully sift the flour/sugar mixture over, and fold in. Just fold until everything is incorporated. Be careful not to over mix at this time, as you want to retain the airy lightness of the batter.





Put half of this mixture in a separate bowl and carefully fold in the sifted cocoa.





Spoon great gobs of batter into an ungreased tube pan with a removable center. (ie the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick 9-Inch Tube Cake Pan)





Alternate between white and chocolate layers to get the marbled angel food cake recipe effect. When batter is all in pan, take a knife and swish through to the bottom a few time. This removes bubbles of air.





Bake at 350 掳 for 55 minutes, approximately. The cake is done if, when touched, the dent you form does not remain.





Turn upside down (ie hang over a wine bottle) for one hour. Next, get a long, slender knife and loosen along sides and along tube, if necessary. Lift out. Loosen the bottom with a knife if necessary. Invert on a serving plate. Cool thoroughly and ice.


Method for Icing the Marbled Angel Cake Recipe





Beat all icing ingredients together until smooth, and spread over the cake. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler (the Fagor Stainless-Steel 2-Quart Double Boiler with Steamer Insert is particularly good for melting chocolate). Drizzle the chocolate over the top. Allow some to drip down the sides. Cool the cake, but do not refrigerate this marbled angel food cake recipe.
Angel Food Cake


Yield: 10 to 12 servings





1 3/4 cups sugar


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 cup cake flour, sifted


12 egg whites (the closer to room temperature the better)


1/3 cup warm water


1 teaspoon orange extract, or extract of your choice


1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





In a food processor spin sugar about 2 minutes until it is superfine. Sift half of the sugar with the salt the cake flour, setting the remaining sugar aside.





In a large bowl, use a balloon whisk to thoroughly combine egg whites, water, orange extract, and cream of tartar. After 2 minutes, switch to a hand mixer.





Slowly sift the reserved sugar, beating continuously at medium speed. Once you have achieved medium peaks, sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a spatula fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.





Carefully spoon mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Bake for 35 minutes before checking for doneness with a wooden skewer. (When inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall, the skewer should come out dry).





Cool upside down on cooling rack for at least an hour before removing from pan.





Cook's Note: Since they're easier to separate use the freshest eggs you can get.

Angel Food Cake








';Classic angel food cake, light and tastes great by itself!';











INGREDIENTS





1 cup cake flour


1 1/2 cups white sugar


12 egg whites


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar


1/2 teaspoon salt











Method





1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure that your 10 inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate the egg whites. Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set aside.








2.In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream of tartar and salt, to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, one third at a time. Do not overmix. Put the batter into the tube pan.








3.Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle, to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.
