Whipping egg whites until they are stiff is required for making angel food cake. The egg whites are stabilized by cream of tartar. The egg white mixture is then folded with additional ingredients.

The cake is then usually baked in an ungreased tube pan, leaving a gap in the middle of the cake. The center tube helps the cake batter rise to a higher temperature than 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, as well as a swirl of whipped cream. The Angel food cake also makes 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.
