Angel Food Cake is a North American biscuit which is so light that he is called angel food cake, and has several features that distinguish it from the rest of biscuits.

The first is that it makes riding the whites, making a Meringue with many whites. Then hand the rest of ingredients, are incorporated which makes it very light.

It is a cake that is made in a mold of bundt, of those that has a hole in the Center but that is flat on the bottom. As it is not grease (don't forget that it is not greasy or not you will get), should be a completely smooth mold.

Finally is a biscuit that cool completely in the Pan but upside down. As the cake needs air to cool, we need to raise the work surface mould. For this purpose there are some Angel Food Cake molds, or angel food cake that have some legs on which put them upside down. But you need not buy a special mold. Also you can use a bottle to fit the mold so that the surface of the cake will not touch work surface and will air in through.

The result is a perfect, very light and delicious tasting cake. A mi me gusta flavoured with vanilla, but also is rich with cinnamon powder, a little ground cloves and cardamom powder, although my favorite is that I bring you today.

To finish it, you can use a bit of icing sugar, but we can make other very easy decorations, like mine today, and which are precious. I've used some whipped and I decorated it with strawberries, raspberries and a little chocolate chopped with a knife, and has been so nice, but you can also do a lemon and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves, for example, or with orange icing. Invent your own decoration, ' imagination to power!
