Description: Food Guy Greg Patent writes about angel food cake: "If you want to create pure baking magic, and have an air-raising experience, make an angel food cake. Air, and air alone raises it to cloud-like puffiness. How to manage that? Read on to find out! My granny’s magic with egg whites hooked me on angel food cake. As a young boy, I’d stare wide-eyed as she used a mere table fork to attack the gloppy mass in a large platter nestled on her lap. After a few minutes of vigorous beating, the whites turned fluffy and grew in volume. As she sprinkled in sugar and beat with even more vigor, the whites mounted higher and became so stiff that they didn’t budge. I still wonder at how Granny managed to perform her magic time and time again. The sweetness of her feathery light cakes lingered in my mouth then and in my memories now. My obsession with light and fluffy angel food cake has not abated with time, and I’ve experimented over and over again, striving to create the lightest, fluffiest cake
