ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH WHIPPED CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• You can either make the angel food cake from a mix (you just add water), or purchase pre-made from a grocery store. A few notes on making angel food cake: you need to let it cool completely in the pan and you need to let it cool upside-down or on its side. My mother also told me not to use a silicone pan because the cake can't cool property in a silicone pan. Once the cake is completely cooled, remove it from the pan. Then using a serrated knife, cut the top off of the cake, starting from about 1 inch down from the top of the cake. See the photos and this is make much more sense. Then use the knife to cut out some of the inside of the cake. Next, make the frosting. Combine the whipping cream, sugar, cocoa, salt, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer until stiff. Fill the scooped out section of the cake with frosting and raspberries. Place the top back on the cake. Frost the cake! Top with toasted almonds with you like. Keep the cake chilled until you are ready to serve it.
