Best 7 Angel Food Frosting Recipes

HEATH BAR ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Brush excess crumbs off of the cake before frosting. (If you are in a hurry, using a store bought cake cuts the baking of this cake to 0, thus the cooking time is not necessarily accurate if you do not bake one).
• Whip the cream until it forms peaks that stand up.
• FOLD in the hot fudge topping, and cracked Heath Bars.
• Frost the Angel Food Cake with the above topping, including the inner circle.
• Refrigerate several hours to let it set.
• Enjoy!

CARAMEL FROSTING FOR ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the brown sugar.
• Boil and stir for at least one minute.
• Take the saucepan off the heat and add the milk.
• With a hand mixer beat in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time until the spreading consistency is right for you.
• It should not be a very thick consistency for angel food cake, because it will harden as it cools.

CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

Steps:

• Make the angel food cake: Set the oven rack in bottom third of oven and preheat the oven to 350F.
• Sift 2/3 cup of the superfine sugar onto a piece of wax paper; set aside.
• Sift the remaining 1/3 cup superfine sugar with the cocoa powder, cake flour and salt; set aside.
• In the large bowl of a standing mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy.
• Add the cream of tartar and beat until the foam is white and holds the lines of the beater.
• Increase the speed to medium-high and add the sifted, superfine sugar, 1 tblsp at a time, until completely incorporated.
• Beat for 30 seconds longer until soft peaks form.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer.
• Sift and fold the dry ingredients into the beaten whites, folding them in with a rubber spatula.
• Pour the batter into a 10-cup angel food cake pan or bundt pan and gently smooth the top without deflating the mixture.
• Bang the pan once (not too hard) on the counter to release any large air pockets.
• Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
• Invert the cake pan over a narrow-necked bottle.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
• Run a thin knife between the cake and sides and center tube of the pan to loosen (you may need to jiggle the pan to completely release the cake).
• Invert the cake onto a serving platter.
• Make the marshmallow frosting: Put the egg whites in the large bowl of a standing mixer.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the granulated sugar and 1/3 cup of water.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• When the sugar syrup comes to a boil, begin beating the egg whites (with clean beaters!) at medium-high speed.
• When they become foamy, add the cream of tartar and beat at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• Insert a candy thermometer into the sugar syrup (be sure the bulb is completely submerged).
• Cook until the syrup reaches 242F.
• Remove from the heat.
• With the mixer still on, beat the sugar syrup into the egg whites in a slow stream until completely incorporated.
• Increase the speed to high and beat for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once with a rubber spatula.
• Add the vanilla and beat for 1 more minute.
• The frosting will still be a little warm.
• Frost the cake: Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the cake, including the inside of the center opening, to glue down the crumbs.
• Then coat the cake all over with the remaining frosting.
• Decorate the top of the cake with the chocolate shavings.
• To serve: Gently slice the cake with a serrated knife or an angel food comb.

HEATH BAR FROSTING FOR ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Scald milk in saucepan. Mix together sugar, flour, and salt. Pour milk over dry mixture and stir. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick. Let cool.
• Cream butter and powdered sugar. Add cold boiled mixture and vanilla and mix well.
• Cut cake into 3 or 4 horizontal layers and spread on frosting, sprinkle with crushed Heath bars. Frost outside of cake if desired and sprinkle with more crushed Heath bars.
• Refrigerate until serving.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE AND LEMON SORBET ICE CREAM CAKE WITH LEMONY FROSTING

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with the angel food cake, using any extra pieces to line the sides of the pan if desired.
• Scoop the sorbet and ice cream onto the cake layer, packing them in tightly and alternating the scoops to create a marbled or checkerboard effect. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge of it, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
• Add the heavy cream, lemon curd, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting. Sprinkle with lemon zest if using. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

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.
• Add vanilla.
• Fold in the flour mixture a little at a time.
• Pour batter into a 9" tube pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Reduce heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit to finish baking.
• 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).
• Keep cool, not cold. If frosting should curdle, add about 2 Tablespoons hot melted butter and beat well.
• Frost top and sides of cake.
