Chocolate-glazed angel food cake

December 6, 2006

MAKES 10 SERVINGS

CAKE:

3/4 cup cake flour

1/3 cup baking cocoa

1½ cups granulated sugar, divided

12 large egg whites

1½ teaspoons cream of tartar

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1½ teaspoon salt

GLAZE:

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon baking cocoa

2 tablespoons hot water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

For cake: Sift flour, cocoa and 3/4 cup granulated sugar in medium bowl. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, vanilla extract and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form.

With mixer running, gradually beat in remaining granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, 1/3 at a time.

Spoon batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Bake for 35 to 38 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cool by turning the cake (in the pan) upside down, propping on top of a bottle until it cools to room temperature. Run knife around the cake to loosen, then invert onto a serving plate.

For glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, cocoa and hot water in medium bowl. Stir until smooth. Drizzle glaze over top of cake, letting it drip down naturally. Let glaze set for 30 minutes or until hard.

Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt or fresh seasonal fruit, if desired.
