Homemade Angel Food Cake
Homemade Angel Food Cake is one of my favorite recipes. It's easy to make and comes out fluffy and perfect. There are a lot of treats you can make with angel food cake. The cake can be eaten with chocolate frosting, cream cheese frosting, or with some fruit on top.

Notes
I like the angel food cake pan that has a removable bottom. It releases much easier.
Keep the cake in an airtight container. It does not have to be refrigerated (unless it has frosting), but it will keep a few days longer in the refrigerator.
