Angel Food Cake with Mocha Sauce
Angel food cake seems rich, although it contains not one bit of fat. The trick is serving it with the right embellishment, like a generous drizzle of deep, dark mocha sauce. Another virtue of this cake is that it keeps for several days. Cake flour is milled finer than all-purpose flour and contains less gluten. This light flour is used for delicate cakes like this one.
