Angel food cake

Angel food cake is a classic American dessert, especially popular in the South. Its name derives from it being almost magically light, making it seem like the ‘food of the angels’. Once the cake is made, you can cover it with rose-water or lavender icing, if you wish. Iced or plain, this cake is delicious served with summer berries and whipped cream, to which you could add a dash of rose or orange-blossom water or a few drops of lavender essence for a refreshing, floral note.
