Chocolate Cinnamon Angel Food Cake
July 13, 2011
After dinner or in the evening of a hot day, you have that urge for something chocolate. But you just don't want something heavy.
How about a nice chocolatety angel food cake? Angel food is light and fluffy as well as having little fat and fewer calories than other desserts.
You could have a big piece and still have very little. Good chocolate flavor without filling you up. That makes it a perfect dessert for a summer night.
| Chocolate Cinnamon Angel Food Cake • 1 1/2 cups egg whites (10-12 eggs) • 1 cup sifted flour • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa • 1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 cup sugar Bring egg whites to room temperature, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa, powdered sugar, and cinnamon together three times. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a larger bowl if needed. Sift about 1/4 of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites. Fold in gently. Repeat, folding in the remaining flour mixture in fourths. Pour into ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake on the lowest rack in the oven at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until the top springs back when touched. Immediately invert cake (leave in pan); cool thoroughly. Loosen sides of cake from pan; remove. |
Enjoy!
