Angel food cake is a classic egg foam cake built entirely on properly whipped egg whites and controlled sugar incorporation. In this PoP Baking Club lecture, M.

This class emphasizes patience, ingredient function, and controlled technique. The meringue is the structure. The baker’s job is to support it.
