“Bachelor ” Angel Food Cake from Frederick II

A favorite pastime for my brother Frederick II and his wife was hosting and attending bridge parties, for which she would make homemade treats.

When my brother was back on his own, he maintained the friendships the two had as a couple and decided he would make something himself  for the bridge games, relying on a favorite of his from his bachelor days – Angel Food Cake.  Courtesy of Betty Crocker mixes, the Angel Food Cake became anticipated and quite popular among his bridge buddies!

He has since retired his baker’s cap so for this edition of “Mom’s Recipe Box”, I baked an Angel Food Cake on his behalf.– Jackie
