    This recipe for Homemade Angel Food Cake is so light and fluffy, tastes amazing you may never buy a box mix again!

    Homemade Angel Food Cake

    Homemade Angel Food Cake tastes great with or without icing. Serve with fresh berries or try my recipe for 5 Minute Strawberry Sauce. This cake also tasty great and is perfect for frosting and decorating. I decorated this cake with buttercream frosting and mini marshmallows.
    Homemade Angel Food Cake
    Angel food cake has always been a Birthday Cake tradition in our home and this homemade version may become your favorite cake to make for those special days. This all began many years ago by my husband's late Grandmother, she would always bake them an angel food cake. I have continued on with this tradition, but I must fess up, I have never made an Angel Food Cake from scratch until now. I'm not quite sure what took me so long to try this recipe that was scribbled on a piece of paper in my Mom's cookbook favourites.

     A while back I saw a recipe on Pinterest of a cake decorated with coloured mini marshmallows and this is where I got the inspiration to decorate this cake. Check out Darlene's fabulous blog Make Fabulous Cakes  for more great cakes! This recipe for Angel Food Cake was so delicious, I will be definitely be baking it more often! Decorate with your favourite icing or serve with a simple collection of fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream
