angel food cake
Ethereal white sponge
Angel food cake is a light, spongy white cake made with egg whites, sugar, and flour but no butter or egg yolks.
The name suggests heavenly lightness—the cake rises tall and airy, with a delicate texture.
It's traditionally baked in a tube pan and served plain or with fruit and whipped cream: She made angel food cake for his birthday.
