Chocolate Snow Angel Cake

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cake and pastry flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 3/4 cups PUREGG Simply Egg Whites
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 pkg white frosting
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • berries and fresh mint (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In small bowl, mix together with electric
    mixer, flour and 3/4 cup (175 mL) each of the sugar and cocoa.
  2. In large bowl, beat 1 3/4 cups (425 mL) of the egg whites until foamy. Add
    lemon juice, vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt to egg whites. Beat until soft
    peaks form. Still beating, gradually add remaining 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the
    sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Adding one-quarter at a time, gently fold flour mixture into egg whites just
    until blended. Gently spoon batter into ungreased 10-in (25-cm) tube pan with
    removable bottom. Run spatula through batter to eliminate air pockets.
    Smooth top.
  4. Bake in centre of oven for 40 minutes or until cake springs back when
    lightly touched. Invert pan; cool completely.
  5. Cut cake in half horizontally to make two layers. Stir orange rind into frosting. Spread bottom layer evenly with frosting. Sprinkle with berries, if using. Replace top; frost cake completely. Garnish with mint and additional berries, if using.
