We usually have dessert for dinner but, today since we have made it this far we are going to do it up! Eating sugar before meals helps break down for our digestion. Having bromelain will help cut the pain and 500mg Tylenol 3x pre day helps me out a ton. We are going to beat this right out of our body.
Mocha-Hazelnut Glazed Angel Food Cake
I love this recipe because it combines three of my favorite flavors: coffee, hazelnuts and cherries. —Joan Pecsek, Chesapeake, Virginia
Ingredients
12 large egg whites (about 1-2/3 cups)
1 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cups sugar
GLAZE:
1 cup Nutella
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup brewed coffee
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
16 maraschino cherries with stems
Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory
Directions
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix flour and coffee granules until blended.
Add cream of tartar, extract and salt to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 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.
Gently transfer to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack 30-40 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool cake in pan, about 1-1/2 hours.
Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. In a small bowl, whisk Nutella, confectioners' sugar and coffee until smooth. Drizzle over cake; sprinkle with hazelnuts. Serve with cherries.
