"The Light and Airy Cakes of
Summer Angel, Chiffon, and Sponge Cakes."
 A
light and airy angel or chiffon cake seems right for summer.
For guests
or family, top a slice with whipped cream and maybe seasonal berries
or peach slices. If you would like a little more, use flavored whipped
cream or cut the cake into several horizontal slices and fill the cake
with whipped cream and fruit or pudding. It’s hard to go wrong.
What’s
the Difference?
- Angel Food Cakes:
Angel food cakes are made with egg whites and no oil. Without the yolks,
they are very low fat. Often, they have no flour but rely on the coagulation
of the proteins in the egg whites to create structure.
- Chiffon Cakes:
Chiffon cakes are made like angel food cakes but the egg yolks are gently
folded back into the batter. They are made with oil.
- Sponge Cakes:
Are made with whipped egg whites and again, the egg yolks are folded
back in. No oil is added. Sponge cakes and chiffon cakes often use flour.
