Angel food cake is one of the desserts (and there are quite a few) that always reminds me of my grandmother, Audrey. She swore by generic angel food cake mixes from ALDI or the Dollar Store. Because angel food cake made from a mix was good enough for Audrey it has always been the way I've made it in the past. But recently I needed to use up a bunch of egg whites left over from making ice cream, so I decided to try making one from scratch. To be honest, I don't know if I will be going back. The homemade version took about the same amount of time as a mix and turned out so delicious.
