Making angel food cake requires whipping egg whites until they are stiff. Whistle egg whites are best. The egg whites are stabbed with cream of tartar. Additional ingredients are then folded into the egg white mixture and folded into the egg white mixture.

The cake is then usually baked in an ungreased tube pan, leaving a gap in the middle of the cake. The center tube allows the cake batter to rise above that of other pans, causing the batter to cling to both sides of the pan. After baking, the pan is inverted while cooling to prevent the cake from falling in on its own.

Usually, rather than frosting, angel food cakes are topped with a glaze or a sweet fruit sauce, with a swirl of whipped cream. The Angel food cake is also known for making beautiful and unique trifles. Fruit, caramel, liqueurs, and chocolate are all well absorbed by the airy layers. The parfait is another dessert that angel food gives an elegant look to.
