Lemon Meringue Angel Cake image

I've been told that this dessert tastes exactly like a lemon meringue pie and that it's the best angel food cake anyone could ask for. I'm not sure about all of that, but it is delightful to serve, and each slice is virtually fat free. -Sharon Kurtz, Emmaus, Pennsylvania
