Angel Food Cake!

Although I have made many cakes in my life, I have never made an Angel Food Cake before this week. I have always been a little intimidated by the idea of a cake that is so light and fluffy, but it really wasn't so difficult.

There are some key steps that need to done carefully:

• Separating the egg whites from the yolks is important because the fat in the yolks will prevent the whites from whipping up properly. 
• The bowl for whipping the egg whites must be clean and free of any grease for the same reason.
• Mixing the batter needs to be done very gently so that it stays light and fluffy.

I'm glad I learned to make this cake. Served with some berries, it might be my new favourite!
