Best Angel Food Cake image

For our daughter's wedding, a friend made this lovely, angel food cake from a recipe she's used for decades. It really is one of the best angel food cake recipes I've found. Serve slices plain or dress them up with fresh fruit. -Marilyn Niemeyer, Doon, Iowa

I was so excited to try this recipe, but it turned out to be a disaster. The cake was dense and dry, and it didn't have any flavor.
