About Cake, angelfood, commercially prepared

Angel food cake is the featherlight outlier of the cake world. It contains no butter, oil or egg yolks — its airy, cloud-like structure comes entirely from whipped egg whites folded with sugar and flour, baked in a tall tube pan and cooled upside down so it keeps its lift.

That makes it almost fat-free and the lightest of the common cakes at about 257 calories per 100 grams, with under a gram of fat. It is still sweet, built largely on sugar, and contains a surprising amount of sodium (around 750 milligrams per 100 grams) from the egg whites and leavening — but it is a comparatively light dessert option.

Angel food cake's spongy, slightly chewy texture pairs beautifully with fresh berries and a spoonful of whipped cream or a drizzle of fruit, which is its most classic serving. Its lightness makes it a popular choice when a less heavy dessert is wanted.
