Angel food cake is a light, fluffy dessert that’s been loved in the U.S. for over 150 years. With just a few basic ingredients—egg whites, flour, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar—it seems simple, but perfecting it takes practice. The key is getting those egg whites to the right level of stiffness for a cake that’s golden on the outside and soft and airy on the inside, with a hint of almond sweetness.
Once you’ve made your angel food cake, you’ll want to keep it fresh. To preserve that soft, moist texture, wrap the cake tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep air out. Store it in a dry place, as moisture can speed up spoilage.
Where to store your angel food cake:
• At room temperature: It lasts up to 2 days. Perfect for serving right away at a party or gathering.
• In the fridge: If you need it to last longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. Be sure to refrigerate if you’ve added dairy or fruit (like whipped cream, custard, or buttercream).
• In the freezer: For long-term storage, freeze it for 4–6 months. Wrap it in both plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn.
Signs of spoilage:
If your cake smells off or shows signs of mold, it’s time to toss it. Staleness is also a sign it’s past its prime, as angel food cake is all about its light, airy texture.
