THE PINK ANGEL

PINK ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake in 10-inch tube pan as directed on package, dissolving the drink mix in measure of water listed on cake mix package before beating with the dry cake mix.
• Cool 5 min. on wire rack. Invert pan; cool cake completely. Loosen cake from sides of pan with knife. Gently remove cake from pan.
• Slice cake. Serve topped with COOL WHIP and berries.

PRETTY-IN-PINK ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a fine-mesh sieve to sift together flour and 3/4 cup superfine sugar 4 times.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat together egg whites, water, food coloring, and 3/4 cup sugar on medium speed until foamy. Add salt, cream of tartar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla; whisk until meringue is stiff but not dry.
• Transfer meringue to a large bowl. In six additions, sift flour mixture on top, folding in quickly but gently.
• Transfer batter to an ungreased 10-inch tube pan with removable bottom. Smooth top with an offset spatula. Run a knife through batter to release air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and springy to the touch, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Invert pan on its legs or over the neck of a glass bottle, and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, combine the berries, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup superfine sugar in a small nonreactive bowl. Set aside to macerate while the cake is cooling, about 1 hour. In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream, confectioners' sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Carefully run a long offset spatula or knife around the inner and outer perimeter of the pan to release cake. Invert onto serving platter. Serve with macerated berries and sweetened sour cream.

PINK ANGEL DESSERT

Steps:

• Place warm water in small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin on the surface. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in sugar and place over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and stir in lemonade concentrate. Chill in refrigerator until partially set, mixture should be the consistency of unbeaten egg whites, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Pour mixture into large mixing bowl and beat in evaporated milk until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Tear angel food cake into bite sized pieces and fold into mixture. Spoon into a 9x5 inch loaf pan and freeze for 1 hour. Slice and serve.

PINK ANGELS - A SQUARE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and set aside.

BLUSHING ANGEL HAIR PASTA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water. Simmer until the water cooks out and the garlic becomes tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste with 2 more tablespoons water and cook to "fry" the paste for a minute in the oil, stirring. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook over medium heat until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream. Season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
• In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil. Add a generous handful of salt. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring with a slotted spoon to make sure it does not clump or stick to the bottom, until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid and drain the pasta in a large colander.
• Add the hot pasta right from the colander to the skillet and toss to coat with the cream. Shut the heat off and allow the pasta to rest for 2 minutes. If too thin, gently warm and reduce over low heat for 1 to 2 additional minutes. If it becomes too thick, simply thin it out with some of the reserved pasta cooking liquid. Serve topped with the cheese.

PINK ANGEL

Steps:

• 1. Shake the first four ingredients well with ice. 2. Strain into a chilled martini glass. 3. Garnish with an orange peel twisted over the top of the drink. * This cocktail can be made with freshly squeezed juice from a POM Wonderful pomegranate or by using POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice. To juice the pomegranate, cut it in half (as you would a grapefruit) and juice using a citrus reamer or a juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. One large POM Wonderful pomegranate will produce about 1/2 cup of juice.
