Directions
Paul Newman’s Chocolate – Orange Angel Food Cake, This has to be one of the most incredible desserts I have ever had — let alone made! Paul Newman was on Oprah several years ago with this recipe of his, and it is absolutely delicious Preparation time is an estimate, and does not include 15 minutes for bringing the egg whites to room temperature I hope you enjoy it!, This is an amazing cake — so light, and still such intense flavors I looked and looked, but could not find a plain orange-flavored chocolate, so used a Lindt dark chocolate bar called Intense Orange that also had ground almonds in it I do want to caution to watch the cake carefully — mine was browned in 35 minutes and passed the knife test, so I took it out It had a lovely texture, and was a huge hit at the party I brought it to Thank you for posting the recipe
