Tips:

  • To make the perfect angel food cake, be sure to whip the egg whites until they are stiff and glossy. This will help the cake rise properly.
  • If you don't have a mixer, you can whip the egg whites by hand. Just be sure to use a whisk and whip them until they are stiff and glossy.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling the parfaits. This will help the cake hold its shape.
  • For a more decadent parfait, use whipped cream instead of yogurt.
  • To add a pop of color, top the parfaits with fresh berries or fruit.
