Cherry Angel Food Cake Cherry Fluff Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Make sure your 10 inch tube pan is clean and dry. Sift flour three times and set aside.
• In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Blend in vanilla and almond extract. Fold the flour into the whites until no streaks remain. Pour half of the batter into pan. Sprinkle with half of the cherries. Fill pan with remaining batter and top with remaining cherries.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Invert pan and allow to hang until cake cools.

Steps:

• Combine the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar, and salt in the top of a double boiler over water that is at a hard boil. Start beating right away with a beater until the mixture stands in stiff peaks. Remove from heat and add vanilla or your favorite flavoring and keep beating until it is thick enough to spread easily.

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F. In extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix, cold water and extract with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Carefully fold in cherries. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9-inch angel food pan or batter will overflow.)
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks feel very dry and not sticky. Do not underbake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle, or rest edges on 2 to 4 cans of equal height until cake is completely cooled, about 2 hours. Run knife around edge of cake; remove from pan.
• In medium bowl, mix butter, powdered sugar and enough cherry juice for desired spreading consistency. Spread glaze over top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side. Garnish with whole cherries, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Reserve 2 tablespoons of cherry juice and halve 6 cherries for icing; refrigerate. Add enough water to remaining cherry juice to make 1 1/4 cups. Chop the remaining cherries and drain; set aside.
• 2. In large metal or glass bowl, combine cake mix, liquid and almond extract. With electric mixer on low speed, beat 30 seconds; increase speed to medium and continue beating 1 minute. Fold in cherries. Pour batter into a 10" Angel Food Cake Pan. Bake for 47 minutes or until top is golden brown and cracks in cake are not sticky but very dry. Top should spring back when lightly touched. Immediately, turn pan upside down onto glass bottle or heatproof funnel. Let hang 1 hour or until cake is completely cool. Use a long metal spatula or knife to loosen sides of cake; remove from pan.
• 3. In large glass bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Place sugar, corn syrup, cherry juice and water in small sauce pan. Do not mix or stir. Cook on medium high heat. Bring to a boil and boil 2 minutes or until sugar syrup registers 240 degrees on candy thermometer. With mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites while slowly adding the syrup in a thin stream. Beat until mixture is thick and glossy. Add almond and vanilla extracts; just beat until blended. Immediately spread icing on cake before it sets up. Decorate with cherry halves.
• 4. Notes: Do not grease cake pan. The icing will be a light pink, add a few drops of red food coloring if you prefer a darker pink. Set out the egg whites about 30 minutes or an hour before using. Do not leave them out for an extended period of time.

Steps:

• Combine the cherries, raisins, apple brandy, butter, sugar, and spices in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Put the angel food cake slices on 4 plates, and top each with a scoop of cherry sauce and a dallop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Tear the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes (into a large bowl).
• With your fingers, tear the cream cheese into small pieces (into the same bowl).
• Add the Cool Whip.
• Toss "gently", you don't want to break up the angel food cake too much but still tastes great if you do.
• Turn cake mixture into a 13x9-inch casserole dish and top with the cherry pie filling.
• Refrigerate until ready to eat.
• Servings are approximate.
• Original recipe called for 1 can of topping but I always use 2.

Steps:

• Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour twice; set aside. Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Combine flour and remaining sugar; gradually fold into batter, 1/4 cup at a time. Fold in cherries. , Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour. Run a knife around the sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Serve with whipped topping.
