Chocolate Angel Food Cake Recipe

Heart Healthy Recipe

Here’s a healthy angel food cake recipe that is light and airy. A touch of cocoa powder makes this healthy angel food cake a delicious low fat chocolate dessert.

Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • 12 egg whites, at room temperature
    • 2 tsp cream of tartar
    • 1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
    • 1 qt strawberries, hulled and sliced

Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, 3/4 cup of the sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and salt.
    • In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat on high until blended. Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup sugar while beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in one-third of the flour mixture. Fold in remaining flour mixture until blended.
    • Pour batter into Bundt pan. Tap pan on counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted toward the center comes out clean. Cool, inverted, for 1 hour. Run a knife along the sides of the pan and invert onto a serving plate.
    • Serve with a dollop of yogurt and some strawberries.
