I love Angel Food Cake, and this one is delicious.. I have many cake recipes, but this one is one of my all time favorites. Many, many times this cake has been tested and approved. To make a lighter version, use fat free milk, sugar free pudding, light cool whip..I have done this before, and is still delicious. Recipe from: Taste of Home
