Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
12 large egg whites, room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup cake flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (6 ounces)
1 recipe Mocha Ganache

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together espresso powder, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water until powder dissolves.
  • In a large, wide bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, 4 minutes. Continue to beat, gradually adding sugar, until stiff glossy peaks form, about 2 minutes. (If using a stand mixer, gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, wide bowl for easier folding.)
  • Place cake flour and salt in a fine-mesh sieve and sift over egg-white mixture in 3 additions, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. Gently fold in espresso mixture and chocolate chips. Gently spoon batter into an ungreased angel-food cake pan with a removable bottom. With a knife, cut through batter to release air bubbles, then smooth top. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Invert pan on a baking sheet; let cake cool in pan, 1 hour. Run a thin knife around pan and tube, then unmold cake. Serve drizzled with ganache.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will make the baking process much smoother and easier.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients combine more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites: Overbeaten egg whites will make your cake tough. Beat them until they are stiff but still glossy.
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter gently: Use a spatula to fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make your cake dense.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • When making the frosting, use high-quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the taste of your frosting.
  • Be patient: Baking a cake takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a cake that is not as good as it could be.

Conclusion:

Mocha Angel Food Torte is a delicious and elegant cake that is perfect for any special occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to impress your guests. Follow the tips above to make sure your cake turns out perfect every time.
