recipe given to me by both my mom and a good friend in the 70's. A family favorite that I share only because it should be known by all! Cook time is the minimum time to refrigerate before serving. We like it most when it's made the day before!! (and since i usually serve this for a special occasion, that makes life easier!!)

Time 20m

Yield 1 9x13 pan

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 angel food cake, broken into pieces
12 ounces chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs, separated
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate chips with sugar.
  • While melting, beat egg whites; set aside.
  • Beat 4 egg yolks.
  • Add to chocolate mixture and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • Whip the cream; add chocolate mixture and beat.
  • Fold into egg whites.
  • Add cake chunks and mix.
  • Put into 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: A tube pan designed specifically for angel food cake is essential for success. Its unique shape allows for even baking and helps create the cake's signature texture.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This is crucial for creating the cake's characteristic light and fluffy texture. Make sure to use a clean bowl and beaters to ensure the egg whites whip up properly.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently: Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and result in a dense cake. Use a spatula to gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Depending on the size of your pan, baking times may vary. Keep a close eye on the cake to prevent overbaking.
  • Invert the cake immediately after baking: This helps prevent the cake from sinking and promotes even cooling. Place the pan upside down on a wire rack and let it cool completely before frosting or serving.
  • Store the cake properly: Angel food cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep it covered to prevent it from drying out.
