This heavenly angel food cake is studded with mini chocolate chips. The dessert feels indulgent, but enjoy it guilt-free since it has almost half the calories of store-bought cake.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. instant espresso powder
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. cake flour
1/2 tsp. Coarse salt
1 c. miniature semisweet chocolate chips
12 large egg whites
Mocha Ganache

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together espresso powder, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon water until powder dissolves.
In a large, wide bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, 4 minutes. Continue to beat, gradually adding sugar, until stiff glossy peaks form, about 2 minutes. (If using a stand mixer, gently transfer egg-white mixture to a large, wide bowl for easier folding.)
Place cake flour and salt in a fine-mesh sieve and sift over egg-white mixture in three additions, gently folding with a rubber spatula after each addition. Gently fold in espresso mixture and chocolate chips. Gently spoon batter into an ungreased angel-food cake pan with a removable bottom. With a knife, cut through batter to release air bubbles, then smooth top. Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 35 minutes.
Invert pan on a baking sheet; let cake cool in pan, 1 hour. Run a thin knife around pan and tube, then unmold cake. Serve drizzled with ganache. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
