My preferred way to serve angel food cake is with a layer of strawberries and homemade whipped cream in the center, as described in this recipe. I think it makes both the flavor and presentation better as a layered cake, with whipped cream and strawberries in the center and on the top.

In addition to strawberries, other types of berries also make a good accompaniment and I’ve seen others dust the top with a light layer of confectioner’s sugar too.

** You need a tin / metal loaf pan. If you don’t have one, line your loaf pan with aluminum foil so that the cake can “climb” the sides of the pan while baking as there is no chemical leavener in this recipe. My metal loaf pan is 10″ x 4″, however a standard 8.5″ x 4.5″ will also work.

*** It’s really important not to over beat the mixture. If over beaten the cake will become more dense and less airy.
