This homemade cake is a great dessert for any dinner party or potluck and it is a great way to use up leftover egg whites from making Moist Chocolate Chip Pound Cake.
Homemade angel food makes a great base for fresh berries, lemon curd, fresh whipped cream and other toppings. Serve it with a scoop of ice cream to take it to the next level!

Classic angel food cake has tall sides with a white tender crumb and a delicate golden brown crust on the outside. This can best be achieved with the right pan, right ingredients and proper technique for preparing the cake batter.
Soft peaks will stick to the whisk and curve slightly at the end after beating the egg whites.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cracks on the top of the cake appear dry
