Although National Angel Food Cake Day is October 10, Angel Food Cake is a much-loved, classic dessert that’s enjoyed all year long. For very good reason. It’s a sweet and airy, egg-white-based cake, which is every bit as wonderful when it is made gluten free. When you have the right recipe, that is. Check out this updated collection of amazing gluten-free angel food cake recipes!

      Linda–There’s pretty much a National Day for everything you can think of! Seriously. It’s nice to look to them for inspiration on what to post next. 😉 Everyone loves your Angel Food Cake, so it was not an option to leave it out of the roundup! Hope more folks find your ebook, too. It’s a “must have.” Thanks for sharing the roundup! 🙂

    Shirley these recipes look wonderful. I do recall enjoying Angel Food Cake with strawberries and whipped cream years ago…much better than with a shortcake in my humble opinion. I must remember these cakes for when we are back in strawberry season!

      Ina–I’ve got to agree with you on angel food cake being much better with strawberries than shortcake! 🙂 And these angel food cake recipes are the best ever; that’s for sure!

        Hi April–I know … these cakes are really amazing! I can personally vouch for Linda’s (Gluten-Free Homemaker) recipe, but I know these others are terrific recipe creators as well, so I wouldn’t hesitate to have a slice of their cakes (or a cupcake if applicable). Thanks so much for featuring this roundup on Hearth and Soul!! Also, belated happy birthday! I see you celebrated in style per usual! Good for you! 🙂

    Shirley,
    This collection of angel food cake recipes has me drooling. I haven’t had angel food cake in many years, but I used to love it berries and cream. I think the cake with the flowers on top looks beautiful and the angel food cake roll too. This is great. Thanks
