Angel Food Cake
Angel food cake is the tall, snow-white American classic made from nothing but whipped egg whites, sugar, cake flour, and a whisper of vanilla — no butter, no oil, no yolks. The crumb is impossibly light and springy, like a sweet cloud with a delicate golden crust. Whipping the whites only to soft, glossy peaks and folding in triple-sifted flour keeps the batter stretchy enough to rise dramatically in an ungreased tube pan, then cooling the cake upside down locks in every bit of that height.
