I finally got a chance to appease my angel food cake craving this weekend. I probably could have made it prettier but I was feeling slightly lazy, however; I did put my own twist on it and made mint chocolate angel food cake. The best part about this recipe is that it tastes amazing and there is no butter in it! Imagine that. Egg whites and sugar...that means there are no calories correct? Correct. Anyway, here it is, my own recipe:
mint chocolate angel food cake.
2/3 cup cake flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups super fine sugar
12 egg whites (room temp)
1/3 cup warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 tsp peppermint extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cake flour, cocoa, the salt and 1/2 of the sugar.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine egg whites, extract, water and cream of tartar on medium speed.
- Add the sugar to the mixture that had not yet been combined with the flour mixture and continue to beat until medium peaks form.
5. Sprinkle flour mixture over the top of the egg white mixture and fold in with a spatula. Continue to do this with the rest of the flour mixture until it is completely incorporated.
6. Pour batter into a 10" tube pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
7. Let cool upside down on a cooling rack for at least one hour before removing from pan.
