Chocolate Angel Food Cake is light as air with a subtle taste of chocolate. The classic cake with a chocolate twist!

I have to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of regular angel food cake.

Yes, it’s a classic and if you have it with a side of strawberries, it’s fabulous. But, I don’t know..it’s just not one of my favorite cakes. 🤷

So, when I decided to give the chocolate version a try a few years ago, I was skeptical. Boy, I was converted! Adding a bit of chocolate to a regular angel food cake is a wonderful idea.

Chocolate Angel Food Cake is still light and fluffy as the regular version, but, with the bonus of chocolate.

Another bonus? It’s fat free. Which translates into= guilt free chocolate cake.

How To Make Your Cake + A Few Notes:

• First, whisk together part of your sugar, cocoa powder, salt and flour. You will need two batches of sugar for this cake. I separated them in the recipe card for easier instructions. Set this mixture to the side.

• Next, beat your egg whites until they are foamy. This should only take a few minutes. An electric mixer with a whip attachment works best.

• Then, increase your mixer speed a bit and add in cream of tartar. Don’t forget it! This will stabilize your egg whites by helping them hold water & air.

• While beating the egg whites, gradually add in your second batch of sugar. Do this gradually…about 2 tablespoons at a time. Don’t dump it all in at once..it will flatten your egg whites.

• Beat your egg whites until medium peaks are reached. They should be shiny white and thick.

• Lastly, take your flour/sugar/cocoa powder mixture and fold it into your whipped egg whites. Like the sugar, do this gradually. Do it carefully and use a whisk.

• Spread the batter into a tube pan. DO NOT GREASE your pan. Then, bake.

• Let the cake cool a bit before removing from the pan. When removing, take a sharp knife and run it along the edges of the pan to release.
