Here’s a cool way to treat angel food cake: Fill it with sherbet or ice cream. We finish this cake with a tart, sweet lime glaze. —Leah Rekau, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Ingredients
-
12 large egg whites (about 1-2/3 cups)
-
1 cup cake flour
-
1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
-
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2-1/2 to 3 cups raspberry sherbet or ice cream of your choice
-
GLAZE:
-
2 cups confectioners' sugar
-
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
-
3 to 4 tablespoons lime juice
Directions
-
1.
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
-
2.
Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix flour and 3/4 cup sugar until blended.
-
3.
Add seeds from vanilla bean (or extract if using), cream of tartar and salt to egg whites. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
-
4.
Gently transfer batter to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack 45-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely in pan, about 1-1/2 hours.
-
5.
Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Using a serrated knife, cut a 1-in. slice off top of cake. Hollow out remaining cake, leaving a 1-in.-thick shell (save removed cake for another use). Fill tunnel with sherbet, mounding slightly; replace cake top. Wrap cake securely in plastic; freeze overnight.
-
6.
To serve, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lime zest and enough lime juice to reach desired consistency. Unwrap cake; spread glaze over top, allowing some to drip down sides. Freeze until serving.
