Recipe by Maureen Callahan If you can't decide whether you want vanilla or chocolate, this angel food cake is for you because it delivers both. Beaten egg whites create the light, airy texture of this classic dessert.

Ingredients

1 cup cake flour (about 4 ounces) 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/4 teaspoon salt 12 large egg whites 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons unsweetened dark cocoa (such as Hershey's Special Dark)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °. To prepare cake, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and 3/4 cup granulated sugar, stirring with a whisk; set aside. Place cream of tartar, salt, and egg whites in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Add remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in juice and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Sift flour mixture over egg white mixture, 1/4 cup at a time; fold in after each addition. Spoon half of batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, spreading evenly. Break air pockets by cutting through batter with a knife. Sift 2 tablespoons cocoa over remaining batter; fold in. Spoon cocoa batter evenly over top of vanilla batter; break air pockets by cutting through cocoa layer with a knife. Bake at 325 ° for 55 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Invert pan; cool completely. Loosen cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert cake onto a plate. To prepare glaze, place powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Drizzle half of glaze over cake. Add 3/4 teaspoon cocoa to remaining glaze; stir well to combine. Drizzle cocoa glaze over cake. Refrigerate 5 minutes or until glaze is set. Garnish with strawberries, if desired.
