This is an old recipe for the angel food cake. Enjoy we do. Recipe is not original with me, it is an old recipe that was handed down.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This recipe brings back such great memories! I used to make a similar cake for my grandfather each year on his birthday. I would ice it and then coat it with coconut that I had colored red, in honor of his December birth. It was his absolute favorite... and this recipe tastes just like it to me! Fond memories of a great man and a great cake. Thanks, Cindy!
