The angel food cake I tasted as a kid was not really embellished. A
simple drizzle of some powdered sugar icing, that's about it. It was my
middle brother's favourite cake and he always requested it for his
birthday. I couldn't tell you why he liked it. Maybe because it was
baked in a special pan (I still have the pan my mother used). I always
thought it tasted rather plain. It did have a nice texture but not much
else going for it.
