Black And White Angelfood Cake Recipes

Steps:

• CAKE:.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar with the flour and sift them together 4 times.
• Set aside.
• Place the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the eggs form medium-firm peaks, about 1 minute.
• With the mixer on medium speed, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar by sprinkling it over the beaten egg whites.
• Beat on high speed for a few minutes until thick and shiny.
• Add the vanilla and continue to whisk until very thick, about 1 more minute.
• Scrape the beaten egg whites into a large bowl.
• Sift 1/4 of the flour mixture over the egg whites and fold it very carefully into the batter with a rubber spatula.
• Continue adding the flour in 3 equal additions, sifting and folding until it's all incorporated.
• Fold in the grated chocolate.
• Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth the top, and bake it for 35 to 45 minutes, until it springs back to the touch.
• Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan on a cooling rack.(I used to invert it onto an empty bottle of coke)
• When cool, run a thin, flexible knife around the cake to remove it from the pan.
• FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
• Place the chocolate chips and the heavy cream in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate melts.
• Pour the chocolate over the top of the cooled cake to cover the top completely and allow it to drizzle down the sides.
• If you have chocolate glaze left over, you can serve it on the side with the cake.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and glossy, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the egg whites to a large, wide bowl. Using a fine sieve, gradually sift the flour over the egg whites, gently folding in the flour with a spatula. Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Scrape the batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Using a table knife, slice through the cake batter several times to release any large air bubbles. Tap the cake pan once or twice on a flat surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle and let cool completely.
• To loosen the cake, run a thin-bladed knife around the side and tube of the pan. Unmold the cake and transfer to a platter. Cut the cake into wedges and drizzle with some of the reserved syrup. Serve with the sliced peaches and whipped cream.
