Chocolate Angel Food Cupcakes (makes 25-30 cupcakes)
- 12 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocalate shavings
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat egg whites in a large bowl for a few minutes before adding the cream of tartar (a standing mixer helps, if you don't have one prepare for a great arm workout). Beat until egg whites stand in stiff peaks. Combine the sugar and salt (if using granulated sugar, instead of superfine bar sugar, sift it twice). Slowly add the sugar to the beaten egg whites and also add the vanilla. Continue beating until peaks are not only stiff but shiny. Sift the flour and the cocoa powder together and fold into the mixture (try to deflate the egg whites as little as possible). quickly fold in the chocolate shavings until evenly dispersed.
Spoon into a paper-lined cupcake tin. Fill the cupcake tins 2/3 full. Using a spoon make sure the batter is pushed all the way to the sides and that there are no air pockets.
Put in oven on a middle or lower rack (so it doesn't brown too quickly) and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Place on the counter to cool.

Basic Low-Fat Custard (Makes 1-1/2 cups):
- 1-1/2 cups 1 percent low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 2 inch piece of whole vanilla bean
Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Add egg and whisk to combine; then gradually whisk in milk. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard thickens to the consistency of thick cream, about 25 minutes.
Strain if custard has lumps. Transfer to a large bowl, and add vanilla. Cover surface of custard with plastic wrap to prevent a skim from forming, and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
note: if you use a vanilla bean, scrape vanilla into the milk mixture, add the bean and leave in the mixture until it's thickened, remove the bean, then cool.

Plating
I dusted the plates with cocoa, then drizzled a bit of coulis. A dollop of custard to keep the cupcake in place and a dollop on top. Drizzle more coulis and top with sugared raspberries. But this is where you get to be creative, so have fun.

Interesting post... Looks like solid state memory is really beginning to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing decreasing solid-state drive prices real soon. $5 32 gig Micro SDs for your Nintendo DS flash card... sounds good to me!

Merry Christmas! Let the new year will bring a lot of money
I’ve been searching on the web trying to find ideas on how to get my personal blog site coded, your present style and theme are wonderful. Did you code it your self or did you recruit a coder to get it done for you personally?.
I really liked your article.
It's pretty interesting that the mainstream media has changed the way it looks at this recently dont you think?
