Angel Food cakes are a fluffy light cake made mostly from egg whites. This “Taste like Oreos” Angel Food is all of that plus it is layered with a creamy filling that will delight anyone taste buds. If you have never tried black cocoa, you will be quite pleased with the oreo taste it gives.
One of the keys to making a successful angel food cake is to make sure your mixer bowl/beaters are grease free. Your egg whites must be free of yolks and at room temperature to get the highest loft. I always use fresh eggs whites that I separate myself.
See the fluffy texture of the cake…It is soft and incredible! I have found through trial and error that THM Oat Fiber is the best. All other oat fibers will be drier and have more of a gritty taste. So if you want a successful baking day…buy the THM Oat Fiber! You will not regret it.

- Yes, the Gentle Sweet listed twice is correct!
These egg white have been beaten to semi stiff peaks. I am ready to fold the cocoa mixture into the egg white.
SInce there is fat in cocoa powder it will cause the egg whites to deflate just a bit. That is the reason I have added baking powder the the cake batter.
As you can see…this cake does not get as high as my Strawberry THM Angel Food Cake or the Maple Walnut Angel Food Cake does. However, it has a wonderful texture and taste just like an Oreo cookie.
Here are the three layers of the cake before I add the filling and stack them.
Doesn’t this piece looks just gorgeous! and believe me it is just as appealing to the tastebuds, too!

As you can see I love to bake Angel Food Cakes….their texture is just wonderful! and so like the flour/sugar ones.
If I don’t have the special cocoa you mentioned, can I use other cocoa? I do have some dark chocolate cocoa.
you can but it will not have the oreo taste.
Do you have to use whey protein powder, or could you use a different kind of protein powder? My daughter has a dairy allergy, and I wanted to make the cake (without the frosting & ganache) for her, but we normally use a plant-based protein powder.
you could try the protein powder you have.
Did you send your recipe to Choc Zero yet? They might share it on their social media pages – as they often share many great creations with their products! We love their chocolate chips for melting and coating nuts and strawberries! Oh and I bought the black cocoa to try this one! Thank you!
They have featured a few of my recipes!
~ I noticed that your pan with the Oreo cake looks different than the one you have in the link.. there is also a less expensive one than the one you have linked that looks like the pan you have used, will that pan work? It has the feet, also, do you set the cake upside on those feet to cool? I have a bunt pan, but not one specifically for angel food.. and the price of this one listed , is out of my budge but I could do the $16 dollar one that looks like the one you used .~
You can use any kind of angel food cake pan.
Do you grease and flour pan? It’s not mentioned
no, you never grease an angel food cake pan. The cake needs to stick to the sides of the pan to hold its shape.
My family are staunchly anti-cream cheese in their frosting. Would you recommend making a buttercream using Gentle Sweet, or something else? Thanks!
yes, use a buttercream!
I made the cake and think it seems on the dry side.Do you think I overbaked it or does it make a difference what kind of black cocoa used? I got mine at a bulk food store.
That can come from neign baked just a little too long.
Can a person subtitute for the Gentle Sweet, or is the vplume sn issue
Yes, you can substitute with a sweetener of your choice.
How many eggs did you use for this recipe
At least 12
Would this work with a regular bundt pan, or would it not come out of the pan do to the sides?
It would be very hard to get out of the pan.
Good morning! I’m planning to make this and wondering if it would work to bake in a cookie sheet and roll up with the filling.
I have never tried that. I do have an Oreo Cake Roll on my blog.
I use the dough hook to mix it, too.
