Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield : 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups egg whites (from about 1 dozen eggs), at room temperature
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, plus 1/2 cup
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 orange, zested
3/4 cup orange juice
1 1/2 pounds confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
  • Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
  • Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
  • Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
  • Serving suggestion: sorbet .

2 teaspoons cornstarch
2/3 cup orange juice
Pinch salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine, cut into pieces
1 cup whipping cream

Add butter; cook 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently, until boiling. Boil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Immediately pour orange mixture (orange curd) through fine-mesh strainer into medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto surface of orange curd. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until completely chilled.
  • In medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream and grated orange peel into orange curd.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pkg angel food cake
1 pkg orange jello [sm] [i used sugar free because that was what i had]
1 1/4 c orange juice [i used simply orange, in place of all the water the box called for]
1 orange, zested [split the zest between the cake and the frosting.]
FROSTING
1 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp orange juice
orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. Move your oven rack to the bottom position. Preheat oven to 350. Empty mix in mixing bowl. Add orange jello. Pour in orange juice. Mix per package directions. Bake 35 minutes. Turn upside down on a bottle and cool completely.

Tips for Baking a Perfect Cocoa Angel Food Cake:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Use a large bowl and a whisk to mix the egg whites until they are stiff but not dry. This will help the cake rise properly.
  • Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while whisking continuously. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder together before adding them to the egg white mixture. This will help ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture gently until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.

Conclusion:

This cocoa angel food cake with orange glaze is a delicious and light dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a delicate cocoa flavor. The orange glaze adds a bright and citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
