This cake is a bit too dry for my taste. I would recommend adding 1/2 cup of milk or water to the batter.

This cake is a great way to use up egg whites. I always have a lot of egg whites left over from making other recipes, and this is a perfect way to use them up.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by 1/4 cup.

This is the worst gluten-free angel food cake I've ever had. It's dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
