2010 Year of Pleasures #6

I had my first meeting with the rest of the women I’ll be working with at church, and so Bear made us homemade angel food cake with fresh whipped cream and homemade strawberry sauce. We all licked our plates clean.

Oh my gosh, homemade angel food cake is so much better than the stuff in the stores. I mean, of course it is, but seriously. I’d been eating foam my whole life and here was this wonder awaiting me that had a wonderful crispy crust with this inside that somehow managed to be dense and light at the same time.

We got the recipe from our favorite baking book in the world. The Professional Pastry Chef: Fundamentals of Baking and Pastry, 4th Edition
