GRILLED ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CITRUS COMPOTE



Grilled Angel Food Cake with Citrus Compote image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ruby red grapefruits
2 navel oranges
2 blood oranges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
A handful of fresh mint, plus some leaves for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
Zest of 1 ruby red grapefruit
One 7-to-8-inch store bought angel food cake

Steps:

  • For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
  • For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup cake flour
1 cup sugar
12 large egg whites (egg whites from large eggs, no yolks in the whites!)
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
1 orange, zested
2 ripe mangoes, 1 peeled and coarsely chopped and 1 peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, divided
2 teaspoons sugar, if needed
1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 kiwis, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 star fruit (carambola), cut into thin star slices
1 cup halved red seedless grapes
2 tablespoons chiffonade of mint, for garnish
Special Equipment: Angel Food Cake Pan

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour together with 1/2 cup of the sugar and set aside.
  • Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer. Be SURE that the bowl is clean and dry, any fat in the bowl can prevent the egg whites from whipping up fluffy fluffy fluffy! Add the salt and the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Beat the egg whites on a medium-high speed until they reach soft peaks, about 5 minutes.
  • While the mixer is running, gradually add the remaining sugar. DO NOT plop the sugar in all at once or it will push the air out of the whites that we are trying to beat in. Add in the vanilla and zests and then stop the mixer. Add 1/3 of the flour/sugar mixture and fold gently fold, do this quickly but gently. Repeat the process 2 more times until all of the flour/sugar mixture is incorporated.
  • Transfer the cake batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bang the cake pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles trapped in the cake batter.
  • Bake the cake on a sheet tray in the preheated oven until it is light and springy, about 1 1/4 hours. Cool the cake for at least 1 hour before unmolding. Serve with the tropical fruit compote.
  • For the compote: In a food processor or blender, puree the coarsely chopped mango and 1/2 cup orange juice. If this mixture needs a little more sweetness, add in the 2 teaspoons of sugar and puree for another 10 seconds or until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Combine all of the fruit and remaining orange juice and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve slices of the cake drizzled with the mango puree and sprinkled generously with the fruit compote. Garnish with mint and serve.
  • Wow! How tropical-fruity and the cake is light as air!

ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Provided by Food Network

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 .

  • Be sure to sift the cake flour and cornstarch together before measuring. This will help ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
