Angel food cake is a family favorite. A while ago we had my nephew over for Sunday dinner. He thought the gluten fee angel cake was even better than the traditional version and suggested I give his Mom the recipe.
I make it all the time and even keep a can of crushed pineapple in the pantry so I can make it on the spur of the moment. I generally just use Pillsbury cream cheese frosting, not sure I want to think about what they use to make it. Anyway be sure to let the cake cool before you frost or the frosting melts and disappears.
