Chocolate Angel Food Cake Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling

Yield: 16 Servings

35 30 65

Ingredients

12 egg whites
1 cup cake flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-2/3 cups sugar
ICING:
1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon fat-free milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sift flour and cocoa together twice; set aside.
Add the cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate.
For icing, in a small bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, sour cream, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 servings.

I have made many angel food cakes. Much better than a box mix. Consider it a challenge.

How can I make this with an angel food cake mix rather than the long way. Do I make any changes, How much choco. should I add to basic cake mix? Thank you.
