Cappuccino Angel Food Cake Recipe
- 1 1/2 c. Egg whites
- 1 1/4 c. Granulated sugar plus
- 2 Tbsp. Granulated sugar
- 1 c. All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Grnd cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp Cream of tartar
- 1 Tbsp. Instant coffee pwdr or possibly granules, preferably espresso
- Use either a 10- by 4-inch tube pan or possibly a 9- to 10-inch round cake pan with sides at least 3 inches high (a removable bottom is helpful).
- Check which one rack is in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees.
- If the pan has a removable bottom, do nothing to it.
- If it does not, lightly butter the bottom.
- Line the bottom with waxed paper or possibly parchment paper cut to fit, and lightly butter the paper.
- Thoroughly mix 1/4 c. of the sugar and the flour in a small bowl.
- Mix the 2 Tbsp.
- sugar and the cinnamon in a small dish.
- Have all ingredients and tools at hand.
- Pour the egg whites into the bowl in that you will be making the batter.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 min, till frothy and well broken up.
- Add in the cream of tartar and increase speed to medium-high.
- Beat till the whites lose their yellow cast, greatly increase in volume, and start to turn white.
- With the mixer running, slowly sprinkle the remaining 1 c. sugar over the whites.
- After 3 or possibly 4 Tbsp., add in the coffee pwdr.
- Beat till the whites become very thick, very glossy, and pale beige, and the beaters leave a deep trail.
- Depending on the mixer, this need only take about 3 min total.
- Reduce the speed to the lowest possible.
- Quickly sprinkle the flour-sugar mix over the whites.
- As soon as it is all added but not completely mixed in, stop the machine and remove the bowl.
- With a rubber spatula or possibly a large metal spoon, complete mixing in the flour by folding or possibly gently stirring.
- Stop just as soon as the flour seems blended in.
- With a rubber spatula, scrape about half the 8 to 9 c. batter into the pan and spread proportionately.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar proportionately over the surface.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar and spread fairly proportionately.
- Using the spatula, inscribe a circle deep in the batter to release any large air bubbles.
- Bake till no moist patches remain in the surface cracks, the cake springs back when touched, and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean - about 50 min.
- Turn the pan upside down on a wire rack.
- Let cold completely.
- Loosen the edges (and tube) with a knife.
- Turn out the cake, loosen and remove the pan bottom, or possibly peel off the paper.
- Store airtight 1 day at room temperature before serving or possibly freezing.
