Angel Food Cake

"Angel food is, both in actual cake and in perception, airy-fairy, floaty, fluffy and insubstantial. It’s like eating cloud. Really sweet cloud. But surprisingly, it can be sliced and layered, filled with cream and fruit and curd without fear of collapsing. What it is basically is a butterless, fatless, egg yolk-less sponge. Airy-fairy. The only downside - if it IS a downside - is that you’re left with about a million egg yolks afterwards so you have to very quickly bake a gateau Breton or make industrial quantities of mayo."
