Ingredients

Servings

• 12 piece Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Cake flour
• 3 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 ounce White chocolate
• 2 ounce Dark chocolate
• 1 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a tube pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the egg white mixture, folding gently until well combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched.
7. Remove the cake from the oven and invert the pan onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
8. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate and dark chocolate separately in separate bowls over a double boiler or in the microwave.
9. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour half of the cream over the melted white chocolate and the other half over the melted dark chocolate. Stir each mixture until smooth.
10. Remove the cooled cake from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Drizzle the white chocolate glaze over half of the cake and the dark chocolate glaze over the other half.
11. Allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
12. Slice and serve the Chocolate Angel Food Cake with White and Dark Chocolate Glaze.
