Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack set in the center of the oven.
- Sift flour together with 3/4 cup sugar. Repeat process three times; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tarter, and salt on medium speed until foamy. Add vanilla-bean seeds and almond extract. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly add remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Continue mixing until whites are glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Sift enough of the flour mixture over the egg white mixture to lightly dust the top. Gently fold flour mixture into the egg white mixture. Repeat process until all the flour is incorporated into the egg white mixture.
- Gently spoon batter into a 10-inch tube pan. With a spatula or knife, using a circular motion, cut through the batter twice to eliminate any large pockets of air. Smooth top to remove any large peaks.
- Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Invert pan over a bottle (such as a 2-liter soda bottle or wine bottle) until completely cooled, about 2 hours.
- To serve, set upright, and using a butter knife or a long spatula, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Slice using a serrated knife or an angel food cake cutter; serve drizzled with bourbon creme anglaise, if desired.
MAMA'S ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH BOURBON CRèME ANGLAISE
It is necessary to sift the flour before measuring it for this cake. This is an anomaly; if flour is sifted at all these days (not that common anymore), most baking recipes call for sifting after it is measured. Here, the flour is sifted once before measuring, then an additional four times with the sugar to prepare this batter. It may seem like overkill, but it is completely necessary to achieve the traditional light-as-air texture of angel food cake. There is an unusual implement for cutting these delicate cakes found in many silver chests throughout the South. These old-fashioned rakelike cutters typically have a long, slightly offset handle with 3- to 4-inch-long tines that actually split, rather than cut, the cake. They can still be found online and in gourmet catalogs.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the lower part of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Sift the flour with 3/4 cup of the sugar. Re-sift three times. Set aside.
- To prepare the batter, in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whisk, place the egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar. Whisk on medium speed until foamy. Add the vanilla-bean seeds and almond extract. With the mixer on medium speed, add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, a little at a time, until the whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted. Sift enough of the flour mixture in to dust the top of the foam. Using a spatula, fold in gently. Continue until all of the flour mixture is incorporated.
- Gently spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. With a spatula or a knife, using a circular motion, cut through the batter twice to eliminate any large pockets of air. Smooth the top to remove any large peaks.
- Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Invert the pan over a bottle (such as a 2-liter soda bottle or wine bottle) and let rest until completely cooled, about 2 hours.
- To serve, set upright, and using a butter knife or long spatula, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Slice with a serrated knife or angel food cake cutter. Serve drizzled with crème anglaise.
- The cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Make an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and water.
- In a saucepan, bring the milk almost to a boil over medium heat. In a second saucepan, blend together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt with a wooden spoon until thick and light (be careful not to make the mixture foamy). Mix in half the hot milk, then transfer the mixture to the other saucepan with the remaining milk and blend. Add the bourbon.
- Decrease the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring the custard until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and the mixture reaches 180°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat.
- Set a sieve over a large, clean bowl and pass the custard through the sieve.
- Place the bowl in the ice bath, and stir the custard until it has completely cooled. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Store the custard in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
FIVE-SPICE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ORANGE CREME ANGLAISE-HOMEMADE
An angel-food with a hint of spice served over an orange cream sauce. It makes for quite an elegant dessert. You can make the cake up to 2 days in advance if you keep it tightly wrapped at room temperature. Be sure to keep the cake upside down until it is completely cooled--this will help keep it from collapsing when it is taken out of the pan. Cooling time is not included in prep time as it varies based on conditions. See Recipe #24232.

Steps:
- For cake: In bowl, sift together flour, five-spice powder and salt.
- Sift mixture a second time.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and extracts together at medium speed.
- Increase speed to high and continue to beat mixture until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating until just before peaks are stiff.
- Egg white mixture should be glossy and smooth.
- Be careful not to over beat, or the cake will not be as tall.
- Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Then fold in the remaining flour mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter and knock the air out.
- Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan and place on the middle oven rack.
- Bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
- For Creme Anglaise: Meanwhile, in a 2-quart pan over medium-high heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar and orange peel.
- Bring the mixture to a scald (just below the boiling point), then remove from heat and set aside for the flavors to steep for 30 minutes.
- Return the pan to heat and reheat to scalding.
- Back to Cake: Remove cake from oven and let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a rack to cool; do not remove cake from pan yet.
- Back to Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks.
- Add a ladle full of the scalded cream mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking immediately.
- This is important or you will end up with scrambled eggs instead of a nice sauce.
- With heat at medium, add warmed yolks to pan, whisking constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
- (Do not allow mixture to come to a boil.) Immediately pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Set the bowl into a larger bowl of ice water and allow it to cool.
- When cold, stir in the orange-flavored liqueur.
- Back to cake: When cake is completely cool, turn pan over and gently run a knife around the edges to loosen cake.
- Turn cake out onto a serving plate.
- Cut cake using a serrated knife and serve each piece atop a pool of creme anglaise.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare a 10" bundt pan by lightly spraying with non-stick, or use a non-stick pan.
- Make sure all the ingredients are room temperature, including the eggs.
- Toss the pecans with 1/4 cup of the flour and set aside.
- Sift together the remaining dry ingredients and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy.
- Add the bananas and mix until incorporated.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- On low speed, mix in the flour in 3 parts alternating with the bourbon, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Gently fold in the pecans and the chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for a 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to finish cooling.
- For the sauce: Heat the cream and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from the heat.
- Whisk the yolks together in a large stainless steel bowl, and place the bowl on top of a wet towel.
- Temper in the cream by slowly, in a tiny stream, pouring the cream into the yolks while constantly whisking.
- As you get more cream into the yolks, you can pour a little faster until all the cream is incorporated into the yolks.
- Pour the mixture back into the pot and cook over very low heat JUST until it starts to thicken, stirring constantly.
- DO NOT BOIL.
- Keep the heat low or you'll have scrambled eggs.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, then add the bourbon.
- Cool completely and serve with the cake.
