In honor of Valentine’s Day and the angels in Of Love & Magic, Christina Dymock with Hungry Family has created an amazing chocolate angel cake recipe. I can’t wait to try it out.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup egg whites (10-12 large eggs)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ounces milk chocolate, shredded
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions
Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in a metal mixing bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form and the whites are glossy. Add the vanilla and beat well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, powdered sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and shredded chocolate. Fold 1/2 cup of the powdered mixture into the egg whites. Repeat until all the flour mixture is incorporated into the eggs.
Pour batter into a non-stick angel food cake or bunt cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 -35 minutes or until cake springs back. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the pan onto a funnel or cup and allow to cool for 2 hours. Remove the cake from the pan and serve with fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Grab this set of 5 romances for under $5. That’s a pretty awesome deal! Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
Chocolate and books–definitely a perfect combo!
yeah, best seller if ever there was one.
A big old chocolate cake. THAT’s what I’m making today! Great idea! Happy Valentine’s Day, Char!!
Yum! I’m going to make this another day. Today I’m still feeling the chocolate binge from ColdStone Creamery. I got some decadent, sinful chocolate waffle cone concoction that I need to repent of tonight.
You’re right, books and cake go so well together! That cake looks so delicious, yum yum.
I know! It’s making me drool on my laptop, which isn’t such a good thing.
