This angel food cake<\/a> with chocolate frosting is a show stopper just from its looks alone, and once people start sinking in their teeth, it will be the talk of the party. When people aren’t busy shoveling bites into their mouths, that is. Angel<\/a> food cake takes a bit of practice, and this chocolate angel food cake recipe adds one additional layer, if you will, but it’s so worth the time.<\/p>\n And don’t worry too much; if you follow each step closely, the cake will come out great even the first time you make it. So, let’s gather our ingredients and get to work on this chocolate-frosted angel food<\/a> cake, because it will be a new frequent treat in your home and beyond.<\/p>\n Place the egg whites in a large bowl and let them stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix then sift the flour, 3\/4 of a cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and the cocoa three times. Set this blend aside.<\/p>\n Add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract and salt to the egg whites, then beat at a medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and the sugar is all dissolved. Then, begin to gradually fold in the flour mixture, adding about a half cup at a time. The mixture will be thick.<\/p>\n Gently spoon the cake batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets, then bake the cake on the lowest oven rack at 350\u00b0F for 40 to 45 minutes or until it has lightly browned and the entire top appears dry. Immediately invert the pan and cool it completely, which will take about one hour.<\/p>\n Run a knife around the side and center of the tube pan, then carefully remove the cake to a serving plate.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Then add the sugar, cocoa and salt, and beat until stiff peaks form. Frost the top and sides of the cake, then serve and enjoy.<\/p>\n This cake will keep well at room temperature for up to two days and in the fridge for up to five, just store it in an airtight container or wrapping either way.<\/p>\n This angel food cake with chocolate can be safely frozen for up to three months. To not ruin the frosting, it’s best to freeze it uncovered on a plate for several hours, then wrap the cake in airtight wrapping and return it to the freezer.<\/p>\n Baking cocoa is similar but distinct from the cocoa powder you might use to make hot chocolate. Cocoa powder has been processed to have less acidity in a process called Dutch-processing. Cocoa powder has a milder and sweeter flavor than baking cocoa, which is stronger and more bitter in taste.<\/p>\n You have many options for the egg yolks you’ll have leftover from this recipe. You can make a carbonara dish. You can create an egg wash for bread. You can use them in a pudding, custard or gelato. Or add an extra yolk to an omelet or scrambled eggs for more flavor and protein.<\/p>\n The right answer here is fresh fruit, and ideally fresh berries. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries will pair beautifully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I take this different kind of angel food cake to church bake sales, it goes before I can get it on the table!

I ended up having to cut off the bottom part of the cake so that it wouldn't taste burnt and that caused me to have way to much frosting. The frosting was absolutely delish but I ended up having to add more sugar and cocoa then what the recipe asked for because it was still very thin. All in all, I ended up having a little bit of cake with my frosting.
