Mini Angel Food Cakes For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift flour with 1/3 cup sugar 3 times.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites and salt with electric mixer until foamy; add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form; fold in vanilla. In two additions, gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Divide batter between the two pans; place on sheet pan.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Invert pans on cooling grid to cool. Loosen cakes from pans with spatuals; remove from pans.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F
• 2. To make the cake: Combine the flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the orange zest. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt, and extract. Beat until the mixture is frothy. Sprinkle the cream of tartar on top and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar while beating, then gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Transfer the batter to the ungreased cups of a mini angel food cake pan; a piping bag works well here. Bake the cakes for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Remove the pan from the oven, and place it upside down on a cooling rack. Let the cakes cool for 1 hour in the pan. Loosen the edges of the cakes, and remove them from the pan. Yield: 6 mini cakes
• 3. To make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Pour the glaze over the tops of the cakes. .
• 4. Tips from our bakers: To make one standard-sized (10"-diameter) angel food cake, double the quantity of the ingredients for the cake, and bake the cake for 34 to 36 minutes. Prepare the same quantity of glaze. Allow the cake to cool for at least 90 minutes before unmolding and glazing.
