WHOLE WHEAT ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Whole Wheat Angel Food Cake image

Angel food cake is often a favorite dessert of dieters because it is very low in fat. This version is even healthier because it is made with whole wheat. I adapted this version slightly from a recipe floating around the internet, but I believe the original recipe was put out by Hodgson Mill. I have not tried this, but I did compare it with other highly-rated angel food cake recipes on 'Zaar and the proportions and instructions do seem correct. Prep time does not include seperating all those eggs!!

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup whole wheat flour or 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla or 2 teaspoons almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • If you're not using whole wheat pastry flour, whirr the flour in a blender, food processor or other grinder until fine (This might be kind of hard, but it won't be the end of the world if its not super-fine).
  • Sift together flour and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Mix in 3/4 cup sugar with a fork or wisk.
  • You want this to be aerated, so you can probably even sift in the sugar with the cornstarch and flour, if you want.
  • Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and add salt and cream of tartar.
  • Beat until whites form soft peaks.
  • Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar and extract (s) and beat until mixed.
  • Not beating, gently fold in about 1/3 of flour mixture at a time (a large rubber spatula is best for this).
  • Pour into angel food cake pan and bake for about 1 hour or until cake is springy when poked.
  • Invert to cool and allow cake to cool completely before removing from pan.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup barley flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups egg whites at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, sift together wheat flour, barley flour, and ¾ cup sugar. Sift 2 to 3 times. Combine egg whites and salt in mixing bowl. Whip until frothy. Add cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Add remaining sugar and almond extract. Whip until glossy. Spoon flour mixture into egg whites 1/3 at a time. Fold in gently. Pour into an ungreased tube pan and bake on bottom rack in oven in oven at 325 degrees for 60 minutes. *For birthdays, I take two rectangular store-bought or homemade angel food cakes, cut one in half and place each half next to the sides of the other to form an X shape. Then I top it with fresh strawberries and bananas mixed into a small amount of store-bought strawberry sauce. (Marie Calendar's sauce is excellent). Then I line the edges with kiwifruit slices. This makes a beautifully delicious "A-" to "B+" Choice birthday cake. **This is not a diabetic recipe and may not encourage excess fat loss in individuals who are highly resistant to fat loss.

Tips:

  • Use a scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that you have the correct proportions of each ingredient, which is essential for a successful cake.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
