Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour into a mixing bowl, then resift flour with 3/4 cup sugar.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar; beat until whites have tripled in size, about 3 minutes. Slowly add remaining 3/4 cup sugar; beat until firm and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer egg whites to a large metal mixing bowl. Gently fold in flour mixture in three additions, mixing from bottom of bowl (try to use fewest strokes possible). Fold in grated chocolate, and mix. Pour batter into a 10-inch nonstick angel-food-cake pan, and run a knife through center of the batter to release any air bubbles. Bake until top becomes golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

Since buttermilk will curdle slightly, strain mixture through a very fine sieve, and stir slowly until smooth. Spread ganache over top of cooled angel-food cake, and allow to harden slightly before serving.

Tips:
- Use room temperature eggs and butter. This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and create a smooth, light texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
Conclusion:
This chocolate chip angel food cake with chocolate ganache is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. With its light and fluffy texture and rich chocolate flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
