Light, fluffy, and moist are a few ways we'd describe this homemade angel food cake. With a delicate vanilla flavor, it's not too sweet. We tried this cake with Splenda, and it worked well. Granulated sugar can be used instead. The cake rises beautifully and has a nice golden crust. Easy to slice, serve a slice of this angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a light dessert.
