I believe that when the cakes we given the names it was in racist times, so yes tecnicaly it is a racist comment.

A different response:

These traditional baking terms are based in religion rather than racism. Although usually white, angel's food cake can also be yellow, pink or chocolate (made with cocoa.) In addition to being light and delicate, angel's food cake may have gotten its name by association with nuns, because before people had electric mixers, supposedly only nuns had the free time to beat egg whites long enough to produce such airy "angelic" cakes. ... In contrast, the dense, moist texture of devil's food cake was considered "sinfully" rich.
