How to Make Angel Food Cocoa Swirl Cake Very Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sift together ¾ cup (90g) cake flour and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar twice.
  3. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 12 large egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer until foamy.
  4. Add 1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the remaining ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, then 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Beat until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients in two additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  7. Divide the batter in half.
  8. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 tablespoons (10g) cake flour and 2 tablespoons (20g) granulated sugar. Add this to one half of the batter and gently fold to combine.
  9. In another separate bowl, sift together 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons (20g) granulated sugar. Add this to the other half of the batter and gently fold to combine.
  10. In an ungreased 9-inch tube pan, carefully spoon alternating dollops of both batters, creating a swirl effect.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 75-80 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool completely upside down in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
