Angel food cake, or Angel cake, is a type of sponge cake originally from North America that first became popular in the U.S. in the late 19th century. It is named because of its airy lightness that was said to be the "food of the angels." Angel cake in the UK should not be confused with Angel food cake. Angel cake in the UK consists of three rectangular layers of sponge, coloured white, pink and yellow (not necessarily in that order). The layers are generally separated by a thin layer of white cream. Angel food cake is usually baked in a tube pan, a tall, round pan with a tube up the center that leaves a hole in the middle of the cake. A "bundt pan" may also be used, but the fluted sides can make releasing the cake more difficult.
