I hadn't thought about angel food cake having a mystique, but I think you're on to something. It really comes down to having the patience to do it right, doesn't it? It's just fussy enough for me. Somewhere, I have one of those old angel food cake "cutters" with the prongs. I've looked high and low so I could photograph it for the post, but no luck. Chocolate syrup, eh? I put crushed fruit on it but unfortunately, it looked better to the eye than the lens. Oh, well. It tasted great! Hi, Jenni.

I enjoy writing these sorts of posts and I'm always tickled if someone enjoys reading them. Thanks so much for your kind comment. As for eggs, I used Just Whites to make the cake. The mere thought of separating a dozen eggs and having a dozen yolks left makes my hair hurt. I'm a firm believer in taking the path of least resistence. Thank you, Word.

I'm very glad that you point out the similarity between meringue and angel food cake. That comparison alone goes a long way towards making this an accessible recipe. Seems like many people are afraid to tackle angel food cake because it's "mysterious" and it cools upside down. I'm glad you tackled it. Can't wait to read your post about it. I do love a cake that has to be cut with a serrated blade. Plus, I like to drizzle chocolate syrup on it :) <abbr><em>Jenni’s last blog post..<a href="http://onlinepastrychef.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/apfelkuchen/" rel="nofollow">An Ode to German Restraint: The Apfelkuchen</a></em></abbr> Ah yes, the egg foam method.

Delightful. Look forward to the next entry; though I'm ambivalent about eggs for many reasons, I can look and salivate if nothing else. You've already got me going with that nice brown crust in the pan up above. What a lovely entry with its photos and history.
