Angel Cake, also known as angel’s cake.
Famous for its incredible softness. Each slice is a cloud.
The Angel Cake is very similar to the Chiffon cake, but the peculiarity is that it does not contain yolks, the angel cake is made only with egg whites. Also, like the Chiffon cake, the specific mold that should not be greased or floured should be used.
Try it because you will fall in love just as I did.
