National Angel Food Cake Day

National Angel Food Cake Day, celebrated every year on October 10, is a delightful occasion to enjoy one of America’s lightest and most distinctive desserts. Known for its snowy white crumb, airy texture, and tall, cloud-like shape, angel food cake gets its remarkable lift from whipped egg whites rather than butter or oil. Its delicate sweetness pairs well with fresh berries, whipped cream, lemon curd, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar. Whether served at a family gathering or enjoyed with an afternoon cup of coffee, angel food cake shows that a dessert doesn’t need to be rich or heavy to feel indulgent.

Just browse these Hudson Valley bakeries and find a devil of an angel cake.
