What is the difference between white cake mix and angel food cake mix?
Angel Food Cake is a type of sponge cake that is hallmarked by it's lighter-than-air, almost fluffy texture. This type of cake uses the leavening of stiffly beaten egg whites to achieve an airy crumb that is highly absorbent when served with a sauce or a glaze. Prized for it's delicate nature, one of the distinct characteristics of an angel food dake is the fact that it is virtually fat free. This fact alone makes it a popular choice for those watching their fat intake.Sponge Cake is very much like an angel food cake with the exception of fats added to the recipe in the form of egg yolks. The use of egg yolks in the recipe results in a texture that is more dense and moist than that of an angel food cake. Like angel food cakes, sponge cakes can be served with a glaze or a sauce or can be layered with fillings such as buttercream, ganache, jam, whipped cream or fruit curd. Due to it's absorbent texture and ability to be adapted to a variety of different uses, sponge cake is considered to be a highly versatile cake.
