Old Glory Angel Food

Old Glory Angel Food makes a glorious dessert for your Fourth of July celebration. It's easy to assemble, but the triple layers and stars-and-stripes topping look like you fussed. "One July, we invited a couple over for a backyard barbecue," relates Anne Nabbefeld of Greenville, Wisconsin. "The woman had recently become a United States citizen, so I created this cake for her. It was a big hit."
