PAUL NEWMAN'S CHOCOLATE - ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
This has to be one of the most incredible desserts I have ever had -- let alone made! Paul Newman was on Oprah several years ago with this recipe of his, and it is absolutely delicious. Preparation time is an estimate, and does not include 15 minutes for bringing the egg whites to room temperature. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Make sure a 10" x 4" tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease.
- Grate the chocolate bars on the fine holes of a cheese grater, NOT a teeny-holed citrus grater.
- (Make sure you do find orange-flavored dark chocolate-- it is not very difficult to find, and absolutely essential to the recipe).
- Separate the eggs, and let the egg whites come to room temperature; about 15 minutes.
- Sift 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt onto a piece of waxed paper.
- Sift them together a total of three times.
- Beat the egg whites until frothy.
- Add the lemon juice and continue beating.
- Sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, over the egg whites and continue beating at medium speed until the egg whites are glossy and form soft peaks that bend over at the top.
- Do not overheat, or the egg whites will lose their volume.
- Sift 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients over the egg whites and fold.
- Gently stir in the vanilla extract and orange rind.
- Alternately fold in the chocolate and remaining dry ingredients, working in small batches, until just incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
- A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and invert the pan.
- Allow the cake to cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan and tube to loosen the cake.
- You can serve this as is, or with a little whipped cream, or ice cream-- whatever your heart desires.
- Enjoy!

NO COOK PINEAPPLE ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Here's one of those "no cook quickie cakes" to put together when you are busy with other things. It's cool, low fat, fairly low sugar, yet has such a good flavor. I've seen similar recipes in magazines but they use pineapple and strawberries. My mother in law makes this with mandarin oranges and everyone loves it. I made a chocolate cake and this one when we had a crowd to feed, including 12 kids. This cake was gone and there was still half a chocolate cake left. Cooking time is really chilling time.

Steps:
- Cut angel food cake into 2 or 3 layers.
- Stir the crushed pineapple and vanilla pudding until blended.
- Add madarin oranges, mixing well with pudding mixture. The orange sections will resemble the crushed pineapple when finished.
- Fold in cool whip.
- Frost layers of cake generously with this mixture and use remaining to "frost" the outside of the cake.
- You can arrange more mandarin orange sections along the top of the cake if desired. Gives it some color.
- Let chill for a couple of hours, if you can wait that long.
- Last time I wanted to let it "chill" it was gone before the chill time was finished.

ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Found from a TOH e-newsletter submitted by J. Springer. This looks to be right up my alley for a dessert choice in the summer months. I've not personally made this one but do not want to lose the link to the recipe. Some of the cooking time is also time for chilling. ***Updated 8/2008 *** I made this cake recipe and it turned out fine. I did change one thing in that I used mandarin oranges for the navel orange in the garnishing but that was it. A big hit at our BBQ.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift flour together with 1/4 cup sugar and salt 3 times; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until frothy; add lemon juice and continue beating until soft peaks form, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, continuing to mix on medium speed until combined and stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes more.
- Sift 1/4 cup of the flour mixture into bowl of egg whites. Using a clean hand, gently fold to combine. Add vanilla and orange zest. Add remaining flour mixture, alternating with chocolate and continuing to gently fold with your hand, until all the flour mixture and chocolate have been added.
- Pour batter into a 9 1/2-inch tube pan; drag a knife through batter to remove any air bubbles. Transfer to oven and bake until lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and invert pan; let cool 30 to 45 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and center of tube and invert to remove from pan. Serve with strawberries or whipped cream, as desired.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will ensure that the cake batter emulsifies properly and results in a smooth, even texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the cake.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- 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 to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the batter by hand. Just be sure to mix it until it is smooth and well combined.
Conclusion:
Paul Newman's Chocolate Orange Angel Food Cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, rich chocolate ganache, and refreshing orange flavor, this cake is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield a stunning cake that is sure to be a hit.
