French Toast Angel Food Cake

It's exactly what it sounds like. Two of my favorite things combined to make an incredibly rich twist on breakfast. For those who aren't looking for a sugar rush I would suggest something a little less...sweet...to put it lightly. I found this in a Better Homes and Gardens and had to try it.
