This low-fat angle food cake is not your typical tasteless cake. The orange custard and the coconut add much-needed flavor to the cake. This makes a great summer treat that is very easy to assemble.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cake. The orange flavor is really strong and it pairs well with the coconut.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly, but I think that was because I didn't beat the egg whites long enough. Other than that, it was a great recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The texture was great though.
