EMAIL Recipe Share on FacebookIngredients
- 2-1/4 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar, if you want an even finer texture try superfine (caster sugar)
- 6 large eggs, room temperature, separated
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 6 Tbsp instant coffee dissolved into 3/4 cup of hot water, cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 tsp cream of tarter
Instructions
- In a bowl of an electric mixer whisk flour, baking powder, salt and sugar (take out 3 Tbsp to be used in the egg whites).
- Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients and add egg yolks, oil, coffee and vanilla. Beat one minute until smooth.
- In a separate bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tarter and 3 Tbsp remaining sugar. Beat until soft peaks form. Fold gently into batter until just blended.
- Bake in an ungreased tube pan for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean. Remove cake and invert suspended on a glass or bottle and let cool completely.
- To remove, run a long knife around the inside of the tube pan and centre core. Turn out on to a serving platter.
- Serve topped with lots of sweet whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
I am sure the cake is great, but it is not an Angel Food Cake, since Angel Food Cake never contains fat or yolks. This recipe is a chiffon. 🙂
You’re right Anne. But usually chiffons don’t get quite as high as this cake…. more like an Angel Food!
