    Angel food cake is a light and fluffy dessert that is made from beaten egg whites, sugar, and flour. Unlike traditional cakes that use butter, angel food cake relies on the structure of beaten egg whites to provide its characteristic airy texture.

    This makes it a great option for those looking for a lower fat dessert option. The cake is typically baked in a tall tube pan, which allows it to rise and form a distinct dome shape. Angel food cake is often served with a dusting of powdered sugar or topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a fruit sauce. This versatile dessert can be dressed up for a special occasion or simply enjoyed on its own as a light and refreshing treat. Whether you're a fan of classic angel food cake or enjoy experimenting with variations, this delightful dessert is sure to be a hit.

      Could this be made in the dutch oven without the bundt pan? Would that cause it to burn or not be as fluffy?

        You should be able to make it in a bundt pan in a regular Dutch oven. You'll need to watch it closely and adjust cook times as you see fit.
