Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large egg whites
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons cold water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
14 large egg whites (1 3/4 cups), room temperature
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 to 4 cups flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a fine sieve, sift together flour and 3/4 cups sugar four times.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat together egg whites and water until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
  • Transfer to a large bowl. In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently.
  • Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.
  • Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Make the frosting: In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the cake pan to release cake.
  • Place on a plate, bottom side up. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice off 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cake, being sure not to break the layer. Set aside. Cut out a 1-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep channel halfway between the center and edge of cake. Spread icing into channel and over entire layer. Sprinkle with coconut.
  • Gently place reserved layer on top and ice with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.

LEMONY ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Lemony Angel Food Cake image

Remember Mom's heavenly angel food cake? Ours has the same ethereal texture (due to egg whites) but with a bright burst of lemon flavor, thanks to fresh juice and zest. Fluffy citrus cream frosting and pretty candied lemon "daffodils" make it an even more memorable dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 10-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup sifted cake flour, (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 large egg whites
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 lemons)
2 cups water
6 lemons

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in lower third of oven. Sift flour and 1/2 cup sugar into a bowl.
  • Whisk whites with a mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add lemon zest and juice, cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt; continue whisking until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. With mixer running, gradually add remaining cup sugar.
  • Increase speed to medium-high; continue whisking until firm, not stiff, peaks form, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle whites with 1/3 of the flour-sugar mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold to combine. Sprinkle remaining flour-sugar mixture over whites in 2 additions; gently fold to combine.
  • Transfer batter to a 10-inch angel food cake pan with legs. Gently run a knife through the center of the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven, and invert onto its cooling legs (if your tube pan doesn't have legs, invert it over the neck of a wine, or similarly shaped, bottle to cool); let cool, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Run a knife around the inner and outer edges of cake to remove. Invert onto a serving platter. (Use a knife to separate cake from bottom of pan.) Let cool on a wire rack. Unfrosted cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Make the lemon cream: Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk lemon juice, sugar, flour, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; whisk constantly for 1 minute, until it thickens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl set in ice-water bath to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk cream and lemon zest with a mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into juice mixture in thirds. Refrigerate lemon cream, up to overnight.
  • Make the candied lemon-peel flowers: Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel 3 lemons to create 6 long strips (at least 5 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide). Remove pith from strips using a paring knife. Cut tops and bottoms off remaining 3 lemons; cut each in half lengthwise. Remove flesh. Cut out 6 flowers from the peels using a 2-inch flower-shaped cookie cutter and remove pith; cut indentations into petals for definition. Punch a hole in the center of each flower using a 1/4-inch plain round piping tip.
  • Add lemon-peel strips and flowers to the syrup. Gently simmer until translucent and tender, about 35 minutes. Remove peels from syrup using a slotted spoon, and transfer to a wire rack set over a parchment. Let dry slightly, about 30 minutes.
  • Trim strips to 5-inch lengths, and roll each to form centers of flowers; fit into flower holes and let stand on wire rack until slightly dry but still sticky, about 30 minutes.
  • Frost cake with lemon cream. Garnish with candied flowers. Serve.

ANGEL'S CLOUD



Angel's Cloud image

An elegant dessert. This is not a difficult recipe so please don't be discourage by the amount of time it takes to bake. Usually when I make this and it's in the oven, I do other things. I have made this recipe for over 40 years for special guests, holidays and my family only. It never fails to please and get praises. I have...

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 xlarge, room temp, fresh organic egg whites
1 c white baking sugar..or regular sugar or vanilla sugar
1 c powdered sugar..do not sift before measuring
2 tsp pure vanilla extract omit if you are using vanilla sugar
2 tsp fresh cream of tartar
2 tsp organic cider vinegar
1 pt organic heavy whipping cream
1 box fresh berries, my favorite is raspberries, but i have use other fresh fruit. you can use frozen, but drain them
1 Tbsp powdered sugar or to your taste

Steps:

  • 1. You must preheat the oven to 275* And you must have a kettle of hot water, but not boiling. I can't give you the exact amount of water as I don't know what size pans you will be using. The baking instructions will give the amount of hot water in inches you will need. Dust a bundt pan with white flour. Shake out any access. And set aside away from the stove and/or heat source.
  • 2. Beat the egg whites in a large clean, dry, bowl until you have peaks, but are not dry.
  • 3. Beat in gradually each sugar, alternating between each sugar until all is thoroughly incorporated. DO NOT over beat. I perfer to hand whip the sugars in, but you don't have to. I sift my powdered sugar, but you don't have to do this either.
  • 4. Add the vinegar, tartar and vanilla. Don't worry about the vinegar smell. There is no taste or smell of vinegar when it is done. The vinegar is use to activate the Tartar.
  • 5. Spoon mixture with a wooden spoon into a bundt pan evenly. Scrap the bowl clean. Gently with the back of the spoon smooth the Cloud out. Do NOT shake or bang the bundt pan...it will settle on it's own in the over. *You can use wooden chopsticks to help release any large air bubbles you think you might have by gently poking through the egg white mixture a few times.*
  • 6. Ok..now this is where I will explain the hot water. You will need a pan that is deep, but not as tall as your bundt pan and larger then your bundt pan. I use an insert pan, but you could use your roasting pan or a large deep pyrex dish.
  • 7. Place the pan you are going to use for the hot water in the warm oven. Pour about an inch of hot water in the pan. Place your bundt pan in the middle of the pan of hot water. Make sure the sides of the pans don't touch each other. There should be 2" of hot water, if there isn't..add more hot water carefully and slowly so not to splash the hot water till you have 2 inches. Don't go crazy and use a ruler...EYE IT. It's about the full lenght of your thumb.
  • 8. Bake in a slow oven at 275* for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours. Depending if you live in high altitude and/or how much hymidity you have. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR!!! The top of the Cloud will have a light golden color to it when it is done. Remove from oven. Let cool on a rack. Run a clean cold knife around the edges. Place a serving dish over the top of the Cloud and invert. Shake gently to loosen onto serving plate. Refrigerate till completely chilled.
  • 9. Whip the cream and gently add 1 Tablespoon of powdered sugar and a splash of extract. The powdered sugar will prevent the whipped cream from separating. Now fold in your fruit in gently. Saving a few berries for the top to decorate with. Frost the top and sides with the whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve. I like to use mint leaves on the top with the fruit for color, adding them at the last minute before I serve it. Chill until ready to serve.
  • 10. Notes: I use powdered sugar when I make Whipped cream..it keeps the cream from separating or running. I have used different flavored extacts and flavored sugars when making this..rose, lavendar, violet, lemon, orange, maple..you name it have use it. Including spices.
  • 11. If you are baking this the day before I wouldn't frost it. I personally detest the flavor of whipped cream the next day. The way to get the best results when whipping cream is to place the bowl you are going to use to whip the cream in, in a bowl of ice.

Tips:

  • Use cake flour for a lighter, fluffier cake.
  • Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.
  • If you are making the cake ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • You can decorate the cake with any type of frosting or topping you like.

Conclusion:

The angel cloud cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its light and fluffy texture, sweet flavor, and stunning appearance, this cake is perfect for any special occasion. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, you will be able to create this beautiful and delicious cake with ease.
