Another new experience for me = The making of an angel food cake! Was going to make a 'regular' one, then opted for the chocolate, & it turned out GREAT! Didn't frost it, but served it with a frogen peach yogurt & a small amount of homemade chocolate syrup! Very tasty!! Then, just so I could use up the leftover egg yolks, I made several batches of pudding as gifts for friends AND used the last couple of yolks in scrambled eggs! Worked well enough for me! Loved this cake! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
