Golden Angel Cake

Golden Angel Cake

Love the light, airy texture of angel food cake? Then this dessert is for you! Unlike most "angel food cakes", this one is loaded with beta-carotene rich carrots and protein-packed eggs, almonds and whey protein. With its fluffy, tall appearance and golden brown finish, this devilishly delicious dessert is unbelievably angelic.
