Chocolate Angel Food Cake 3

Chocolate Angel Food Cake, Fresh Berries

Chocolate Angel Food Cake is a perfect summer dessert. The light and spongy crumb comes from whipping egg whites into a stiff foam (which also means this cake get points for protein too). No fat source means nothing to weigh it – or you – down! Plus, July’s functional food, berries, has some of the highest antioxidant levels of any fresh fruits. We no longer see any reason to skip dessert!
