Have you ever tried this in loaf pans? I have a wonderful recipe I make that takes the loaf-style angel food cakes and wondered if this would work?

This turned out PERFECTLY. Made it for my gluten-sensitive sister-in-law's 50th b'day. ALL the family absolutely raved about it & couldn't believe it was gluten free! YUMMERS!

I made this several times and referred people to this recipe. My husband loves it, I love it and I'm not even a big angel food cake girl. I can't imagine you'd be disappointed. Not at all dry like some cakes can be. I'll add this one to my recipe box!

Since being diagnosed with Celiac I have not been able to enjoy Angel Food cake for a while now. This has to be one of the best GF cake recipes that I have come across. It was super easy to fix.

This is diabetic friendly,amount of sugar versus servings number makes it fine actually. When working with diabetic diets need to monitor several things besides just the sugar part. Funnily enough most diabetics can eat pretty well anything if portion size is adhered to and everything adds up to a balanced meal plan.Granted everyone is different but great strides have been made in food knowledge. Serving high fibre fruits with this cake also changes how the sugar is treated by the body.Sorry about the "speech" but it bothers me that so many diabetics miss out on so much because of outdated info.Lots of medical professionals mean well but simply can't keep up with all the new info. This cake also travels well for potlucks and picnics.

It's great for Gluten free bot not for a diabetic, look at the amount of sugar that is in the cant. Maybe if it was Splenda it might be ok

This is a great gluten free cake! I think it has become my new favourite. The first time I made it, the cake was great! The second time it ws fantastic... it just grew and grew! looked like it was going to over flow the flute pan. I do only put a little less then 1/2 tsp of salt. This is a keeper, no one could tell it was gluten free! which is a plus cause the is always a moan when i mention gluten free.

The first time I ended up throwing it in the garbage. I was so hungry for a angle food cake so I was disappointed when it didn't raise.

this was awesome. Made it for my Gluten-free daughters with a berry sauce for Easter. Couldn't even tell it was gluten free.

Very good! I used a Bundt pan like some of the other reviewers and it was fine. I didn't grease it and it came out of the pan easily. It did turn out a bit flatter then if I had used a fluted pan I think. Anyway, it tasted amazing and was gone within a short period of time. We put strawberries and Red-Whip on it. Making this again for Easter dessert as my m-in-law has celiac. Looking forward to it!

This was my first attempt at GF angel food cake. I followed it and came out with a beautiful cake! When it was cooking, it didn't rise as much as the "normal" box cake mix, but it tasted great. Everyone raved over it and there were not even crumbs left!! The platter was licked clean. Everyone said it was better than regular angel food cake and it is definitely going in my recipe box. My husband was happy to have a yummy sweet treat that didn't have a gritty texture.

Angel Food Cake with Strawberries is one of my favorite summer desserts and I was sad to think I could no longer have it. I made this cake, today and I am thrilled! I love the texture and the taste. Thank you Taste of Home!

Angel food is one of my fave cakes so I've tasted a lot of them. This one tastes great! I was surprised to find there is sugar in the recipe though since part of its purpose is eant to accomodate a diabetic diet. I used Splenda instead of sugar, and it didn't take away from the texture or taste at all. Will make it again.

I have already made this cake twice and plan on making it again soon. I liked it better than Angel Food cakes with gluten. I servied at a 4th of July party to people who don't have to be gluten free and they all loved it.

This recipe is great! I found it right after I got a bunch of strawberries and it was perfect with them. I served it to family who don't have to worry about gluten and they loved it as much as we did! This one is a keeper, I'll make this again.
