Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
Cake: 1 1/2 cups egg whites 1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. almond extract 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 cup cake flour 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Glaze: 8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp. light corn syrup 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Directions
For Cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl and beat until foamy. Continue beating on high speed, adding sugar 2 tbsp. at a time. Beat in salt, almond extract and vanilla. Continue beating about 6 to 8 minutes until stiff and glossy. Meanwhile, sift together flour and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites 1/4 cup at a time. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut. Spoon the batter into a 10 inch tube pan. Cut through the batter with the tip of a knife. Bake cake about 30 to 35 minutes until the top springs bake when pressed. Invert the pan onto a bottle and let cool 90 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and brush off any excess crumbs. Place the cake on a serving plate.
For Glaze: Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Combine the cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan and heat to a boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let stand 1 minute. Whisk the chocolate mixture until smooth. Let the glaze cool a few minutes. Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the coconut over the glaze. Refrigerate cake about 30 minutes until glaze is set.
Serves 16.
