Paul Newmans Chocolate Orange Angel Food Cake Recipes

ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup of the sugar and continue whipping until stiff and the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds.
• Sift the remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the pre-sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture. Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla, and zest.
• Spoon the batter into ungreased mini tube pans. Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down until it cools to room temperature. Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cakes to loosen, then knock the cakes out onto a plate, or work them out with your fingers. The outside of the cake will remain in the pan leaving the cake whiter and more angelic looking.
• Make the glaze: Stir the ingredients together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cakes in the glaze. Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving, or until the icing is hard. Serve with sorbet.
• Serving suggestion: sorbet .

PAUL NEWMAN'S CHOCOLATE - ORANGE ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Make sure a 10" x 4" tube pan is clean, dry and free of grease.
• Grate the chocolate bars on the fine holes of a cheese grater, NOT a teeny-holed citrus grater.
• (Make sure you do find orange-flavored dark chocolate-- it is not very difficult to find, and absolutely essential to the recipe).
• Separate the eggs, and let the egg whites come to room temperature; about 15 minutes.
• Sift 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt onto a piece of waxed paper.
• Sift them together a total of three times.
• Beat the egg whites until frothy.
• Add the lemon juice and continue beating.
• Sprinkle the remaining cup of sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, over the egg whites and continue beating at medium speed until the egg whites are glossy and form soft peaks that bend over at the top.
• Do not overheat, or the egg whites will lose their volume.
• Sift 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients over the egg whites and fold.
• Gently stir in the vanilla extract and orange rind.
• Alternately fold in the chocolate and remaining dry ingredients, working in small batches, until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the tube pan and bake for 45 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
• A knife inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven and invert the pan.
• Allow the cake to cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of the pan and tube to loosen the cake.
• You can serve this as is, or with a little whipped cream, or ice cream-- whatever your heart desires.
• Enjoy!

COCOA ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. and have ready an ungreased 10-inch tube pan (about 4 inched deep) with a removable bottom.
• In a small bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup sugar. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with salt on medium speed until white, opaque, and beginning to hold their shape. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, beating at high speed until whites hold soft (not stiff), slightly glossy peaks. Beat in vanilla.
• Sift one third cocoa mixture over whites and fold in gently but thoroughly, scraping bottom of bowl to prevent lumps. Sift and fold in remaining cocoa mixture, half at a time, in same manner and pour batter into pan. With a knife, make series of side by side chops in batter to remove air bubbles and smooth top. Bake cake in middle of oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Invert cake over neck of a bottle and cool completely.
• Run a thin knife around edge of cake and remove side of pan. Run knife under bottom of cake and around center tube to loosen cake and invert cake onto a rack.
• While orange glaze is still warm, quickly pour over cake, spreading evenly over top with a spatula and allowing excess to drip down outside. (Alternatively, spoon glaze into a plastic bag and squeeze into one corner. Snip off corner to make small hole in bag and streak glaze over cake from center outward.)
• While glaze is still wet (to avoid cracking), transfer cake to a platter. When glaze is set, cover cake loosely with plastic wrap or place under a cake dome and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
• If cake is kept more than 1 day (before or after serving), it should be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen. Bring cake to room temperature before serving.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE - HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Note: For those not use to making angel food cakes Don't get any yoke in the whites, if you do throw out and start over. I always separate the egg in a glass first. Then if no yoke pour into measuring container.
• DO NOT GREASE PAN.
• I always use a two piece angelfood cake pan.
• Heat oven to 375°.
• Sift the cake flour and 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar separately; set aside.
• Combine the extracts in a small bowl; set aside.
• Beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt until it forms peaks.
• Add the other 3/4 cup of sugar slowly, then beat on high until stiff peaks form.
• If you have a mixing guard for your mixer bowl now would be a good time to attach it.
• Beating on LOW, add flour mixture and extracts slowly.
• Make sure you fold in the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl.
• (You can fold in flour mixture by hand but this way is faster.) Spoon into an angel food cake pan.
• Move a knife through batter to remove air pockets.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.
• Invert pan onto a tin funnel to cool completely.
• To remove the cake from your pan run a knife around the rim of the cake pan just to get the 'crust' away from the pan.
• Then firmly spank the sides of your pan.
• You could use a knife but this sometime tears the sides of the cake.
• Invert onto your serve plate then take the knife to the now top which was the bottom of your pan and gently cut cake away from the pan insert.
• No need to cut around the center tube as you just give the cake a gently but firm tap or downward shake on to the plate.
• Or you can pick up plate while holding onto the pan insert with your thumbs and firmly strike the bottom of the plate onto a folded towel. (Just give it a slam down on the towel/table).
