Angel Food Cake
Makes 12-16 slices
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
12 large egg whites
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
METHOD
1 Preheat oven to 375°.
2 Mix flour and powdered sugar together in a small bowl.
3 In the bowl of the stand mixer with the whisk attached, beat egg
whites on medium speed until foamy.
4 Add cream of tartar and a pinch of the sugar. Increase speed.
When soft peaks start to form, slowly drizzle sugar into whites, about
3 tablespoons at a time. Beat just until whites are stiff and glossy;
do not overbeat.
5 Add salt and vanilla to mixture and lower speed. With mixer still on
low speed, gradually add flour mixture, about 1/4 cup at a time.
6 Scrape batter into an ungreased tube pan. Run spatula through the
batter to break up any bubbles. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake
feels dry and top back springs.
7 Invert cake pan on a bottle or funnel until cool. Remove from pan.

Rich Black and White
Baked Alaska
Makes 12 - 16 slices
INGREDIENTS
1 Angel Food Cake (see recipe, page 20)
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
1 cup dark chocolate, shaved
1 batch Italian Meringue (see recipe, page 21)
METHOD
1 Line an 8-inch deep bowl or mold with plastic wrap.
2 Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch slices. Press slices around the
entire mold.
3 Press the chocolate ice cream around the side of the bowl, leaving
a deep hole in the center. Press the vanilla ice cream in the hole.
Wrap with plastic wrap and refreeze for several hours.
4 Prepare the Italian meringue.
5 Spread the entire batch of meringue onto the ice cream. Do this by
using a large star tip on a pastry bag, or simply by spooning on.
Freeze until ready to serve.
6 Before serving, lightly brown the peaks by using a torch on medium
flame, holding the flame an inch away from meringue. (HINT: Use the
same torch to heat your knife before slicing Baked Alaska.) If you
don’t have a torch, brown the peaks by placing under the broiler for
2-3 minutes.
7 Serve with raspberry sauce or warm ganache (see p. 23).
