Recipe Notes:
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature for best results in achieving soft peaks.
- Use an ungreased tube pan to allow the cake to properly rise and hold its shape.
- Inverting the cake pan immediately after baking helps prevent the cake from collapsing as it cools.
- Once cooled, you can add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy your homemade angel food cake, perfect for any occasion!
