This is the best homemade angel food cake recipe from scratch.

Easy Angel Food Cake Recipe
I usually cut up strawberries before I make the cake and pour sugar over them and let sit so they make their own juice.
When the cake is cooled, poke a few holes in the top of the cake and drizzle with the strawberry juice.
Then top with sliced strawberries and add a dollop of whipped cream.

To make a lemon glaze (secret recipe):
2 cups powdered sugar
1 can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed (I used at least 8 tablespoons)
1 TBS+ lemon zest
Mix together and frost entire cake. Place in the refrigerator so the icing stays on the cake.

I also have a little tip. You can also buy a box mix, but instead of adding the ingredients listed on the box, I just mix it with a can of crushed pineapple, juice included. Don’t over-stir it, just mix to combine and bake as directed – Yum. Even better with whipped cream.
This angel food cake recipe makes breakfast a delight. Fresh berries are wonderful with it. If you are making the angel food cake, bake it in a loaf pan – it makes for easy slicing.
ANGEL FOOD CAKE FRENCH TOAST

1 cup evaporated milk
1 pinch salt
1 TBS cinnamon
3 TBS homemade pure vanilla extract (yes, three)
2 eggs, well beaten
1 TBS white sugar
2 TBS homemade unsalted butter
Directions
Place the milk in a mixing bowl and add the salt, cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, eggs and white sugar; whisking until smooth.
Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium and add the butter. Whisk the mixture well and dunk the piece of cake in it, turn over and place in the hot butter. Cook on each side until golden brown. I like to sprinkle the slices with powdered sugar when hot.
Serve with fresh strawberries and homemade whip cream. You may also warm up some fresh peaches and poured them over the top. I sliced them up the day before and put them in the refrigerator with sugar, so they were nice and juicy.
