ORANGE VANILLA BEAN ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 vanilla bean

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the sugar to a food processor and blend until the sugar is super fine, about 1 minute. Reserve half (about 3/4 cup) of the sugar and set aside.
  • Add the cake flour, the remaining sugar (about 3/4 cup), and the salt to a medium bowl. Sift into another medium bowl. Sift the mixture back into the original bowl. This helps get rid of any lumps and creates a very fluffy light texture in the cake.
  • In a large bowl, add the orange zest, cream of tartar and egg whites. Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape the seeds out with a knife, and add the seeds to the bowl with the egg whites. Using a hand mixer, begin to beat the egg white mixture on medium-high speed. While mixing, slowly stream in the remaining sugar. Beat the mixture until it holds medium peaks, this could take up to 10 minutes.
  • Set the mixer aside and sift a light dusting of the flour mixture on top of the egg white mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the egg white mixture, this is done by slicing through the middle of the mixture and folding up and over along the side of the bowl to incorporate the flour. Keep sifting and folding until all the flour mixture has been incorporated.
  • Carefully spoon the mixture into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a knife to swirl around the pan 2 times to release any unwanted air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool upside down on a cooling rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan and cooling completely.

ANGEL BISCUITS

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield About 10 angel biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup warm water (100 degrees F to 110 degrees F)
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus melted butter for brushing
3/4 cup buttermilk
Flaky sea salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Stir the warm water and honey in a small bowl until dissolved, then stir in the yeast; set aside until creamy or foamy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the cut-up butter to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingertips until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and buttermilk. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the flour is completely moistened and the dough looks like a shaggy ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough is doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Lightly brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate or 9- to 10-inch cast-iron skillet with melted butter. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead three or four times until smooth. Pat until 1 inch thick; fold in half like a book and pat to 1 inch thick again. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat folding and patting two more times. Cut out rounds using a 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter (dip the cutter in flour if the dough is sticky). Gently knead the scraps together once to cut out more biscuits. You should have about 10. Place them close together in the pan. Cover and refrigerate until the biscuits rise and are cold and firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with melted butter. Bake until browned on top and firm in the spots where the biscuits meet, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush again with more melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt. Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes, then slide out.

ANGEL HAIR WITH BEANS AND TOMATOES



Angel Hair With Beans and Tomatoes image

I came up with this recipe when my daughter wasn't eating meat. I wanted a side dish that the rest of the family would like, while providing at least some protein with the beans for the one not eating meat. A thicker noodle would hold up to the weight of the tomato and beans better, but we like the taste of the angel hair pasta, so that is what I use.
