I’ve been making so much ice cream that I ended up with something like a dozen and a half egg whites in the refrigerator. I almost made a pavlova but decided on this angel food cake because it requires more egg whites. It’s easy to make and pretty light and tasty, but not very pretty. I never got around to making the fruit and maple yogurt but I’ll bet it’s good with the cake.
