Directions are unclear are you supposed to mix up the angel food cake according to the box instructions and then add the cocoa and boiling water? Can someone help?

Mine fell flat too. I've thought about it and couldn't figure a reason for it. I threw it away because it looked so unappetizing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did anyone have trouble getting the cake to rise when cooking? Mine only came up about 3 in. and then fell. Could it be the cake mix or adding the cocoa?

I am a confirmed chocoholic, but next time I would decrease the amount of cocoa in the recipe. It's really intense chocolate!

I use angel food cake as an add in for yogurt or pudding parfaits at least 3 times a week. The chocolate angel cake recipe makes a nice change. It's a little denser and tastes great without a lot of additional calories

I added 1/2 cup orange juice to the raspberries and sugar sub, then pureed it all in the blender after cooking it. It was EXCELLENT!

The other day I tried mixing different ideas from 2 different recipes. One was adding the cocoa to the angel food cake mix before adding the water. The other idea was adding espresso powder or instant coffee granules. I used the instant coffee. It really made a nice change for an angel food cake. Lots of flavor but not terribly sweet. The next time I do this I will probably try dissolving the granules in the water first, or I may try using cold liquid coffee in place of the water.

I made it once with 1 tsp. butter flavoring and 1/2 cup toasted & finely chopped pecans. It didn't raise as much cuz of fat in pecans but it was REALLY good.

I have also made one with 1 cup pumpkin and 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice.

These are all folded in at the end of mixing. Actually works best if you can find a two-step mix.
