COFFEE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Recipe by Gale Gand. I adopted this recipe in Septembe 2006 but it combines favorite flavor in one of my favorite treats.

Provided by justcallmetoni

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature (from about 1 dozen eggs)
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 -3 teaspoons hot water
1 tablespoon instant coffee or 1 tablespoon espresso
1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup espresso
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Serving Suggestion: Vanilla frozen yogurt
  • Make the Cake: 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.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the hot water and instant coffee to make coffee extract.
  • Using a sieve over a large bowl, sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites in batches; then fold in the vanilla and dissolved coffee.
  • Spoon the batter into an ungreased 9 or 10-inch tube pan and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until light golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down, propped on top of a bottle until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade, or a butter knife, around the cake to loosen, then knock the cake out onto a plate or work it out with your fingers. The outside crumb of the cake will remain in the pan; exposing the white cake underneath.
  • Make the Glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick or more sugar if too thin. Pour glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down naturally. Let glaze set until hard, at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt, so you have a cappuccino in your mouth.

COFFEE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

This is my marathon-running dad's favorite cake (and he's always watching what he eats). I was asked to make Mayor Daley's birthday cake after he was having some heart concerns, so an orange version of this was the winner. One of the guests to arrive late was President Bill Clinton, who I got to sit with and talk to.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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 1/2 cups sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons hot water
1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso
1 1/8 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup espresso
8 ounces confectioners' sugar, sifted
Serving Suggestion: Vanilla frozen yogurt

  • Make the Cake: 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.

Let glaze set until hard, at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt, so you have a cappuccino in your mouth.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality coffee grounds for the best flavor. Freshly ground coffee is ideal.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the cake dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking. This will cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This coffee angel food cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and airy, with a delicate coffee flavor. The cake is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, this coffee angel food cake is the perfect choice.
