Angle Cloud Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. With a fine sieve, sift together flour and 3/4 cups sugar four times.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, beat together egg whites and water until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Increase speed to medium-high and sprinkle in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until stiff but not dry.
• Transfer to a large bowl. In six additions, sift dry ingredients over meringue, folding in quickly but gently.
• Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and springy to touch.
• Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Make the frosting: In the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine egg whites, sugar, water, and cream of tartar. Cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Attach the bowl to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat the mixture on high speed until glossy and voluminous, about 7 minutes. Beat in the vanilla.
• Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the cake pan to release cake.
• Place on a plate, bottom side up. Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice off 1 1/2 inches from the top of the cake, being sure not to break the layer. Set aside. Cut out a 1-inch-wide, 1-inch-deep channel halfway between the center and edge of cake. Spread icing into channel and over entire layer. Sprinkle with coconut.
• Gently place reserved layer on top and ice with remaining frosting. Sprinkle with coconut and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix Angel Food cake mix and Lemon Pie filling. Have mixer on medium high and blend well, almost to the fluff stage. Pour in greased 9X13 greased pan (I used butter flavored spray).
• Bake 35-40 minutes or until top is lightly browned, top is cracking and dry-looking but shiny. Turn off oven and let cake remain in oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely and when completely cool, turn out on rectangle cake board or cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
• Mix lemon jello with container of Cool Whip. Frost cooled cake and enjoy a cloud of light lemony goodness. ENJOY!

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack in lower third of oven. Sift flour and 1/2 cup sugar into a bowl.
• Whisk whites with a mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add lemon zest and juice, cream of tartar, vanilla, and salt; continue whisking until soft peaks form, about 2 1/2 minutes. With mixer running, gradually add remaining cup sugar.
• Increase speed to medium-high; continue whisking until firm, not stiff, peaks form, about 7 minutes. Sprinkle whites with 1/3 of the flour-sugar mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold to combine. Sprinkle remaining flour-sugar mixture over whites in 2 additions; gently fold to combine.
• Transfer batter to a 10-inch angel food cake pan with legs. Gently run a knife through the center of the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven, and invert onto its cooling legs (if your tube pan doesn't have legs, invert it over the neck of a wine, or similarly shaped, bottle to cool); let cool, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Run a knife around the inner and outer edges of cake to remove. Invert onto a serving platter. (Use a knife to separate cake from bottom of pan.) Let cool on a wire rack. Unfrosted cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Make the lemon cream: Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk lemon juice, sugar, flour, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; whisk constantly for 1 minute, until it thickens. Transfer to a heatproof bowl set in ice-water bath to cool completely, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, whisk cream and lemon zest with a mixer on medium speed until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold whipped cream into juice mixture in thirds. Refrigerate lemon cream, up to overnight.
• Make the candied lemon-peel flowers: Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel 3 lemons to create 6 long strips (at least 5 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide). Remove pith from strips using a paring knife. Cut tops and bottoms off remaining 3 lemons; cut each in half lengthwise. Remove flesh. Cut out 6 flowers from the peels using a 2-inch flower-shaped cookie cutter and remove pith; cut indentations into petals for definition. Punch a hole in the center of each flower using a 1/4-inch plain round piping tip.
• Add lemon-peel strips and flowers to the syrup. Gently simmer until translucent and tender, about 35 minutes. Remove peels from syrup using a slotted spoon, and transfer to a wire rack set over a parchment. Let dry slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Trim strips to 5-inch lengths, and roll each to form centers of flowers; fit into flower holes and let stand on wire rack until slightly dry but still sticky, about 30 minutes.
• Frost cake with lemon cream. Garnish with candied flowers. Serve.

Steps:

• 1. Place pineapple with juice in a medium bowl, mix in the dry pudding...then fold in the cool whip.
• 2. cut angel food cake in half horizontally...used half of cool whip mixture on the bottom layer...top with sliced strawberries, sprinkle on blueberries, raspberries or any other bite sized fruit. Place other angel food layer on top, top that one with the other half of cool whip mixture, and invert whole ripe strawberries on top. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter a 25 x 20cm baking tin, and line the base with baking parchment. Stack a sheet of baking parchment over a sheet of foil, then fold in half so the parchment is facing out. Use this to divide the tin into three sections crosswise, each about 8cm wide.
• Melt the butter, remove from the heat and set aside. Put the sugar and eggs in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Beat using an electric whisk until really thick and pale, about 4-5 mins.
• Add a fifth of the mixture to the melted butter and mix to combine. Pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, and carefully fold in along with the flour. Divide the mixture between three bowls. Leave one bowl of batter plain, then fold a drop each of pink food colouring and raspberry extract into the second bowl, and a drop each of yellow food colouring and lemon extract into the third bowl.
• Carefully pour one of the batters into each of the three sections in the prepared tin. Bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through, or a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly in the tin, then carefully transfer the three cakes to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
• To make the buttercream, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and milk together for 5 mins with an electric whisk until pale and creamy. To assemble the cake, put the plain sponge on a board and spread with half the buttercream. Top with the raspberry sponge, then spread with the remaining buttercream and top with the lemon sponge. Trim the sides so they're straight, even and neat.
• To make the fondant icing, sift the sugar into a bowl and mix with 1½-3 tbsp water until you have a thick, droppable icing. Transfer a quarter of the icing to a second bowl, and mix in a drop of pink food colouring. Transfer the pink icing to a piping bag.
• Spread the plain fondant icing over the top of the lemon sponge, making sure it doesn't drip down the sides. Pipe thin lines of pink icing on top across the width of the cake, space apart. Drag a cocktail stick through the lines lengthways to create a marbled effect. Leave to set slightly, then slice the cake into six even rectangles.

Steps:

• 1. You must preheat the oven to 275* And you must have a kettle of hot water, but not boiling. I can't give you the exact amount of water as I don't know what size pans you will be using. The baking instructions will give the amount of hot water in inches you will need. Dust a bundt pan with white flour. Shake out any access. And set aside away from the stove and/or heat source.
• 2. Beat the egg whites in a large clean, dry, bowl until you have peaks, but are not dry.
• 3. Beat in gradually each sugar, alternating between each sugar until all is thoroughly incorporated. DO NOT over beat. I perfer to hand whip the sugars in, but you don't have to. I sift my powdered sugar, but you don't have to do this either.
• 4. Add the vinegar, tartar and vanilla. Don't worry about the vinegar smell. There is no taste or smell of vinegar when it is done. The vinegar is use to activate the Tartar.
• 5. Spoon mixture with a wooden spoon into a bundt pan evenly. Scrap the bowl clean. Gently with the back of the spoon smooth the Cloud out. Do NOT shake or bang the bundt pan...it will settle on it's own in the over. *You can use wooden chopsticks to help release any large air bubbles you think you might have by gently poking through the egg white mixture a few times.*
• 6. Ok..now this is where I will explain the hot water. You will need a pan that is deep, but not as tall as your bundt pan and larger then your bundt pan. I use an insert pan, but you could use your roasting pan or a large deep pyrex dish.
• 7. Place the pan you are going to use for the hot water in the warm oven. Pour about an inch of hot water in the pan. Place your bundt pan in the middle of the pan of hot water. Make sure the sides of the pans don't touch each other. There should be 2" of hot water, if there isn't..add more hot water carefully and slowly so not to splash the hot water till you have 2 inches. Don't go crazy and use a ruler...EYE IT. It's about the full lenght of your thumb.
• 8. Bake in a slow oven at 275* for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours. Depending if you live in high altitude and/or how much hymidity you have. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR!!! The top of the Cloud will have a light golden color to it when it is done. Remove from oven. Let cool on a rack. Run a clean cold knife around the edges. Place a serving dish over the top of the Cloud and invert. Shake gently to loosen onto serving plate. Refrigerate till completely chilled.
• 9. Whip the cream and gently add 1 Tablespoon of powdered sugar and a splash of extract. The powdered sugar will prevent the whipped cream from separating. Now fold in your fruit in gently. Saving a few berries for the top to decorate with. Frost the top and sides with the whipped cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve. I like to use mint leaves on the top with the fruit for color, adding them at the last minute before I serve it. Chill until ready to serve.
• 10. Notes: I use powdered sugar when I make Whipped cream..it keeps the cream from separating or running. I have used different flavored extacts and flavored sugars when making this..rose, lavendar, violet, lemon, orange, maple..you name it have use it. Including spices.
• 11. If you are baking this the day before I wouldn't frost it. I personally detest the flavor of whipped cream the next day. The way to get the best results when whipping cream is to place the bowl you are going to use to whip the cream in, in a bowl of ice.
