Maple iced angel food cake recipe in the cake category
Recipe ingredients:
- Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups egg white, from about 12 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 1/8 cups sifted cake flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Icing:
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon egg white
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
Recipe method:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whip the egg whites in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or using a hand mixer, until foamy.
- Add the cream of tartar and salt and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
- With the mixer funning, gradually add 1 cup of the granulated sugar and continue whipping until the egg whites are stiff, about 30 seconds more.
- Sift remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar together with the sifted cake flour 3 times, to aerate the mixture.
- Fold into the egg whites, then fold in the vanilla and maple syrup.
- Spoon the batter into an ungreased 9 to 10 inch tube pan or 6 miniature ones.
- Smooth the top with the back of the spoon.
- Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 55 minutes.
- Cool by hanging the cake, in the pan, upside down around the neck of a bottle until it cools to room temperature.
- Run a long, sharp knife blade around the cake to loosen it, and then knock the cake out onto a plate.
- The outside crumb of the cake will remain in the pan, exposing the white cake underneath.
- Icing: Stir the ingredients together until smooth.
- Pour over the top of the cake and spread with a spatula, letting the glaze trickle down the sides.
- Let set for at least 30 minutes, or until the icing is hard, before serving.
- Slice with a serrated knife, using a sawing motion.
