As a kid, I always loved angel food cake. The tempting sweet smell, crackly outside, and the white, fluffy inside drew my eyes to wherever it was on the dessert table. Topped with a big scoop of whipped cream and some berries, and I was in heaven. Every time I go food shopping, I see angel food cake prominently displayed. But homemade is 200% better because you can customize it to your tastes. And the minimal effort required is totally worth making this crowd-pleaser from scratch.

Make-Ahead Instructions

You can make this a day before, and it’s best enjoyed fresh within a day or two. Keep angel food cake in an airtight container, so it doesn’t dry out.

Serving and Storage

Take a generous slice of room-temperature angel food cake and top it with fresh fruit like berries or peaches. Or you can slice up fresh fruit and add a spoonful or two of sugar to get them to release their juices for a sweet fruity syrup to drizzle on top. A dollop of fresh homemade whipped cream doesn’t hurt either. Store leftover angel food cake in an airtight container at room temperature for a day, a week in the fridge, or four months in the freezer.

What to Serve With Angel Food Cake

This deliciousness is awesome on its own, topped with homemade whipped cream and a cup of coffee. But if you want the complete package, grilled lamb chops or smoked pork tenderloin with roasted potatoes and carrots and sauteed Brussels sprouts is a hearty meal fit for a king.
