Pour the batter in a coffee cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven on the middle rack for about 45 minutes at 180°C -190°C ( 356°F – 375°F). After baking, turn the Angel Cake upside down on a cooling rack immediately.

While cooling, heat the chocolate in a bain-marie. Depending on the kind of chocolate you are using, add a knife tip of shortening if necessary. Brush the cake with the melted chocolate and decorate to your liking.

I use whipped cream in a decorating bag with star tip, and chocolate clover leaves (using a candy making mold). You can also use the batter to make cupcakes. This recipe makes about 24 cupcakes. Bake the cupcakes for about 18-20 minutes. Decorate to your liking.
