This homemade angel cake, filled with coconut and chocolate chips, is as light as a cloud. Itâs so pretty with the sweetened whipped cream âfrostingâ piped around it. I love to bake breads and desserts for our large family. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups egg whites (about 10) |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 cup cake flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup (6 ounces) miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup flaked coconut |
topping: |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted |
Directions:
1. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together twice; set aside.
2. Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Fold in chocolate chips and coconut.
3. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 325° for 50-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched and cracks feel dry. Immediately invert baking pan; cool completely.
4. For topping, in a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Serve with cake; sprinkle with coconut. Refrigerate any leftover topping. Yield: 12-16 servings.
