“If someone said they made this from scratch, I’d believe them,” shared one editor.

Fluffy, with a golden exterior and pale white interior, this cake looked impressive even before digging in.
After tasting this cake one editor said, “Tastes almost like my gram’sAngel Food Cake.”
This mix produced a tall even layer, but was quite sweet with a lot of artificial vanilla flavor.

The air beaten into the egg whites make the crumb of the cake very delicate and airy.
This fragile cake wouldn’t hold its structure under a layer of frosting as well as the others.
“This cake would be good crumbled into layers for a trifle,” noted one editor.
One editor summed up their feelings on this cake by saying.
“I’d make this cake when I want the frosting to be the star of the show.”
They couldn’t believe how light and fluffy it was.
Once you factor in its low price, it only sweetens the deal.
