Tonight we had unexpected company stay for dinner and I needed something FAST to pop into the oven for dessert while they were out in the garden with my husband for a few minutes. I had seen this recipe on the web somewhere and tucked it in the back of my mind, as due to health reasons and personal preference, we enjoy angel food cakes. For those of you who haven't tried it yet, I just wanted to pass on that it got rave reviews not only from my guests but from my 4 children, which surprised me!
1 box Angel Food Cake Mix (I used Betty Crocker's) 1 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup cocoa, sifted 1/4-1/2 tsp. Hershey's chocolate syrup
Combine flour packet from the mix & cocoa, then prepare cake according to pkg. directions. Add choc. syrup to batter (1/4 tsp. didn't seem to do it for me, so I added a squirt more...). Pour batter into your ungreased tube pan and pop into a preheated 350 oven on the bottom rack for 37-47 minutes (I was worried about the 2-hour suggested cooling time, inverted of course, but this was not a problem for us. By the time we had dinner and were ready for cake and coffee, this puppy was ready to go, no problem, when I took it out of the pan about 1 1/2 hrs. later!)
I hope you enjoy this recipe; thanks for all the tips I've picked up here!
