I made this last night and it came out amazing! I even forgot to add the salt and no one could tell. I topped it with some homemade caramel and strawberries. Everyone loved it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a light dessert.

Wonderful, turns out great.As with all recipes, read carefully and understand what you are doing.you must understand soft peak,etc. if you do not, go to YouTube or other sites to comprehend. Do not blame the poster, as this assumes a moderate knowledge of cooking terms, ie folding etc. this cake is wonderful!

Update to previous ONE Star Rating. The website would not let me increase/ change my rating to 5 Stars. I watched a Utube video on how the eggs should look. I made a second attempt at this recipe and it was a great success.

My cake came out very very dense. Instructions say ..."beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved." Because I followed this instruction, and I really beat on high, this caused the very dense cake. Perhaps instructions should say to not over beat the eggs? I may give this recipe another shot since so many good reviews. This was the reason I picked this recipe because of the good reviews.

This was a wonderfully moist cake that I really enjoyed. Only issue I had was that it didn't rise as high as I expected. Was afraid that it would be too dense, but not a problem. I think maybe I mixed the whites a little longer than I should have, but still turned out wonderfully. Will definitely keep this recipe handy!

Great recipe. Knowing it's preservative free AND tastes delicious makes this a repeat.

My great Aunt Wilma made an Angelfood cake and a Sunshine cake every weekend. The Sunshine cake used the egg yolks left over from separating the eggs. Delicious! Great memories.

Angel Food cakes will be sticky if they are not fully cooked. It is very important to cook it sometimes as long as 60 min depending on the humidity and to hang upside down to cool.I cut waxed paper to fit the bottom of my tube pan and line just the bottom I am sure your spring form pan would have came clean with a soaking in boiling soapy water and a little elbow grease.Give it another shot for good measure there young cook,you'll do fine.

re: the sticky pan: Angel food cakes contain no leavening except the beaten egg whites and require an ungreased pan so that they can "climb" the sides. They are also baked in a tube pan, so that they bake evenly, not a springform pan. My suggestion is to try again with the correct pan, and try to bake it when the humidity is fairly low - high humidity may have caused the stickiness. If it happens again, remember that it's mostly sugar, and will dissolve if you pour boiling water into the pan and let it sit before scrubbing. Hope this helps.

The cake was delishous, but I should have greased the pan. The cake stuck so badly I had to throw away my spring pan.M. Rainey
