    I don't know what it is, but the 3 Barefoot Contessa recipes I have tried so far have TOTALLY flopped. I love the show...which is why I just keep trying over and over (her food always looks SOOOOOOOOO scrumptious. I followed directions eexactly and when I pulled it out of the oven it looked GORGEOUS; I was so excited!!!! Then within the next five minutes it fell to half the original size and became chewy and dense rather than fluffy. I don't know what went wrong... maybe it has something to do with the high altitude??? Overall, very disappointed- I just don't know what I did wrong, and I am a very experienced baker. I'm trying to save it by making a trifle layering angelfood cake, strawberries, dulce de leche, and whipped cream.

    I was in the mood for a light lemony cake,
    and what better fits this description than an lemon angel food cake?
    i cracked the eggs,
    and sifted the flour with great care hopefully ensuring a good outcome,
    and it was better than i could have hoped :
    the texture was light and fluffy,
    and it had a perfect sweet lemon flavor (even though i used lemon extract instead of zest
    i would definatly make this again.

    I don't understand how everyone found this recipe to be good. There was 2 cups of sugar in it!!! It tasted like i just put a tabelspoon of sugar in my mouth with every bite. What is wrong with you Ina? what a waste. I'm gonna use this recipe next time

    It doesn't get much easier except if you use the plastic tasting box mixes. This is an excellent easy to follow recipe with great tasting and beautiful looking results. I've tried several scratch angel food cake recipes before and mostly hocky pucks is what I achieved so I was a little nervous at the start. But take it from me this recipe is A winner!

    This is by far the best angel food cake recipe I've tried. Don't be afraid to try it. Its my husband's favorite dessert and always comes out perfect. Be sure to use parchment paper on the bottom on the pan.

    This was so good. This was my 3rd attempt at making an angel food cake and it came out perfect. I tried 2 different recipes and they flopped. This one is a winner. I couldn't find super fine sugar, so I put granulated sugar in my food processor for a couple of minutes. Thanks Ina for another great recipe!

    The cake is light and sweet - no glaze or frosting needed!

    While my finished cake was not as beautiful as Ina's, it was still tasty. I was very hesitant to try this recipe since egg whites are notoriously hard to work with, but I followed the recipe and it baked up pretty well. The cake has a light hint of lemon and the texture is moist and fluffy. For my first try at angel food cake, this one turned out great! I will try again with different flavorings.
