Chocolate Lover's Angel Food Cake (14 April 2015)

Chocolate Angel Food Cake (recipe from "The Cake Bible" by Rose Levy Beranbaum)



First time making angel food cake (which doesn't contain oil/butter/egg yolks). I wanted to use leftover egg whites from previous bakes.

Taste Test: I found it too sweet despite choosing a chocolate recipe in a bid to temper the sweetness level.

Appearance: The height was not as desired (it was supposed to rise above the cake tin while baking, but mine didn't), but still rose a decent 4 inches. And despite letting the cake cool down in the tin upside-down until it was completely cool, I still found some moistness/condensation at the bottom of the cake (which is the top in this picture). Not sure if it was the cocoa powder used, or because I was trying not to fold in too much/too long, the appearance of the cake is speckled. Guess I need more practice...
