Talking about eggs, here's the famous, difficult, and rewarding Angel food cake.

It is so good a song was written about it.

My mom used to make this cake. It was quite delicate, so delicate that a slammed door during cooking could ruin it.

it isn't my favorite. I thinks it's a taste and texture thing- it looked pretty, but to me was sort of...marshmallowie gummy and hard to cut with a fork. (And i am not a big fan of marshmallows, except in s'mores, lol). Seemed to taste better with fruit and sauce poured over it.
Give me a good chocolate cake over angel food cake any day!

For me, she'd either cut it in half and fill it with fresh strawberries and whipped cream OR frost the top with marshmallow fluff and sprinkle it with peanut butter chips (my favorite!).

After dad was diagnosed with high cholesterol, angel food cake was the most frequently served type of cake at family dinners.
