Angel Food Cake III


Submitted by: Kristin Pan
Rated: 4 out of 5 by 166 members

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Ready In: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Yields: 14 servings
"Classic angel food cake, light and tastes great by itself!"
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
12 egg whites

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
1.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Be sure that your 10 inch tube pan is clean and dry. Any amount of oil or residue could deflate the egg whites. Sift together the flour, and 3/4 cup of the sugar, set aside.
2.

In a large bowl, whip the egg whites along with the vanilla, cream of tartar and salt, to medium stiff peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. When the egg white mixture has reached its maximum volume, fold in the sifted ingredients gradually, one third at a time. Do not over mix. Put the batter into the tube pan.
3.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake springs back when touched. Balance the tube pan upside down on the top of a bottle, to prevent decompression while cooling. When cool, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert onto a plate.


The Ultimate Brownie

The Ultimate Brownie is my absolute favorite brownie. It is tall like a cakey-brownie, but is dense like a fudgy-brownie. I'm sure it will be one of your favorite brownie recipes too.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:

• 8- 1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup butter
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1-1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat or heat chocolate and butter at high power in non-metal bowl in microwave for 2 ½ minutes, stirring after 1 minute, then stir until melted and smooth.); set aside. In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes**. Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed. Stir in the nuts. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. (Don't over bake.) Cool and frost if desired, but that is not necessary.
Convection Oven: 325 for 30 Min.
** It's not required, but this is when it's very nice to own a stand mixer.
This is one of the best brownie recipes.


Just saving this, thanks Ron!

All those posts about "store eggs being better" that so many of us shook our heads over the crazy things people have said about our eggs.
I just talked to a commercial farmer who informed me that all of the "odd shaped eggs" or very thin shell eggs that would not be good enough to go on store shelves go into making Egg Beaters! I thought they used top quality eggs for those. I guess not!
It was fun hearing the farmers info. It makes me glad that we grow our own food ;-)

There is nothing wrong with those eggs. When your your own chickens produce them, you don't hesitate to use them. A lot of the eggs that do not make grade go into various commercial products and baked goods. Nothing wrong with that.

I totally agree! I hate wasting food. I just think its ironic that some people have a misconception about store eggs being "better and or fresher" then back yard chicken eggs. Like the woman at the farmers market, or people wanting "artificial" eggs or meat that you buy from the store which I read in other posts.
I think it's great that farmers can use eggs or anything else for other purposes if that cannot be put on shelves.

This is on my list of things to learn to cook as I expand my Cooking With Eggs repertoire. BYC should do a Lots Of Eggs cookbook or calendar.

My husband sold a dozen of our large brown eggs to a lady he worked with. She was so excited to get them but when her husband looked at them he said he wouldn't eat them (They were clean, just different shades of brown and not all perfectly the same size). She told my husband she had to scramble them and feed them to the dogs!!!!! Oh what a waste. Guess she didn't think about the other aspects of eggs besides just to cook and eat them.

OMG! I just watched the French toast scene! Thanks for posting, I think. lol That, but not quite to that extreme, is why I hesitate before sending food back in a restaurant.

I also do most of my cooking with out a recipe. I do use a recipe occasionally, but a lot of the time I end up altering it to fit my own taste. I have had many people ask for the recipe for my homemade egg noodles that I make at every holiday dinner, chicken and noodles, etc. I tell them I don't have a 'recipe', I just kind of 'do it'. I have tried to tell them the recipe in my head, and even written it down for them, they just cannot ever get them to taste like mine. lol (NO, I didn't leave out an ingredient or direction. tee hee)

The funniest thing I think has ever happened was when my daughter in law (of about 10 years at that time) called and asked for my lasagna recipe. My son had raved and raved about "Mom's" lasagna when he was growing up, and she just couldn't ever get it right. (You have to remember when he was growing up, I was just in the beginning of my cooking), and I told her to look on the back of the lasagna noodle box!

She was mortified and said she would never ask me for another recipe again. I thought it was histarical!

i won't leave a tip at all,

My DH will leave 3 pennies tip if the service is bad He thinks that way they won't think he just 'forgot' to leave the tip or something. The 3 pennies sends a message. They got what the service warrented.
