Chocolate Chip Angel Food Cake

June 24, 2013

I used to be intimidated by scratch angel food cakes. Too many egg whites...What it it didn't rise?...What if I couldn't get it out of the pan? All valid concerns. Well I sucked it up today and gave it a whirl. The cake came out perfectly! The most time consuming part was separating 12 eggs. Now what to do with 12 egg yolks???

12 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/4 sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup cake flour
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 recipe chocolate orange ganache(below)
Ganache
1 package of semi sweet chocolate chips
zest of one orange
1/3 cup of heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 350. Sift the cocoa powder and the flour into a small bowl, set aside. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Using a standing mixer or hand held, beat the egg whites until foamy....
