What is Angel Food Cake?
Angel food cake is a type of delicate, airy sponge cake popular in some parts of the United States. The cake enjoyed a heyday in the late 19th century, and continues to be served with tea and after meals. A European version of angel food cake is heavier and richer than the American type. Making angel food cake is rather challenging, as it requires the ability to manage egg whites well and the fold dry ingredients into egg whites without compromising their light, foamy bubbles.
