Angel food cake batter makes a delicate base for a sorbet or ice cream cake roll. This is a great make-ahead dessert because you can freeze the rolled cake for up to 2 days before serving it with the compote. To soften the sorbet for spreading on the cake, let it stand at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sifted cake flour |
3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided |
3/4 teaspoon five-spice powder |
6 large egg whites |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
dash of salt |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract |
1/3 cup flaked sweetened coconut |
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
1 pint mandarin orange with passionfruit sorbet (such as edy's whole fruit sorbet), softened |
1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed peeled ripe mango |
1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed fresh pineapple |
1 cup (1/2-inch) cubed peeled kiwifruit |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons dark rum |
1/4 cup flaked sweetened coconut, toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. To prepare cake, line the bottom of a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan with wax paper.
3. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, and five-spice powder, stirring with a whisk.
4. Place egg whites in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt, and beat until soft peaks form. Add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in juice and extracts.
5. Sift 1/4 cup flour mixture over egg white mixture; fold in. Repeat procedure with remaining flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time. Spread batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup coconut. Bake at 325° for 20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
6. Place a clean dish towel over a large wire rack; dust with powdered sugar. Loosen cake from sides of pan; turn out onto towel. Carefully peel off wax paper; cool for 3 minutes. Starting at narrow end, roll up cake and towel together. Place, seam side down, on wire rack; cool cake completely. Unroll cake, and remove towel. Spread sorbet over cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border around outside edges. Reroll cake. Wrap cake in plastic wrap; freeze 1 hour or until firm.
7. To prepare compote, combine mango, pineapple, kiwi, brown sugar, and rum, and let stand 20 minutes. Cut cake into 16 slices, and place 2 slices on each of 8 plates. Spoon about 1/4 cup compote over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted coconut.
