How to cook deliciously - Sherbet-Filled Angel Food Cake

1. Stage

Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix flour and 3/4 cup sugar until blended.

3. Stage

Add seeds from vanilla bean (or extract if using), cream of tartar and salt to egg whites. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form. Gradually fold in flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.

4. Stage

Gently transfer batter to an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on lowest oven rack 45-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely in pan, about 1-1/2 hours.

5. Stage

Run a knife around sides and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Using a serrated knife, cut a 1-in. slice off top of cake. Hollow out remaining cake, leaving a 1-in.-thick shell (save removed cake for another use). Fill tunnel with sherbet, mounding slightly; replace cake top. Wrap cake securely in plastic; freeze overnight.

6. Stage

To serve, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lime zest and enough lime juice to reach desired consistency. Unwrap cake; spread glaze over top, allowing some to drip down sides. Freeze until serving.
