Espresso chocolate chip angel food cake

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 teaspoons Instant espresso powder
1⅓ cup Cake flour, sifted
⅛ teaspoon Salt
1¾ cup Egg whites (about 12 large)
1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1¾ cup Granulated sugar
1½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
1¼ teaspoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
¾ cup Chocolate chips, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Sift together the espresso powder, the cake flour, and the salt. Set aside. 3. Put the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium speed until frothy. Add the cream of tartar. Increase the speed to high and slowly pour in the sugar. Continue whipping until the whites are stiff but still shiny, about 3 minutes. 4. Reduce to low speed and add the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Add the reserved flour mixture. When the flour mixture is almost completely incorporated, remove the bowl from the machine and fold in the chocolate chips. Make sure that the chocolate chips are spread evenly throughout the batter and that the flour is evenly mixed into the egg whites. Do not overmix. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and cut through it a few times with a dull knife to break up any air pockets. 6. Bake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Invert the cake on a rack and let it cool upside down in the pan. 7. Unmold the cake and slice it with a serrated knife.
