Egg Whites and Angel Food

I had a dozen egg whites sitting in my freezer since October 2007. I kid you not. When I need yolks, I'll save the whites in a dark corner of the freezer. Today I stubled on a zip lock bag of yolks dated to 2007.

So, I thought I'd try them out in an angel food cake-- Alton's recipie. I substituted regular flour for the cake flour and everything turned out fine.

Let me make that more dramatic-- I made an angel food cake with two year old whites, a flour substitution, an electric beater cranked to high and it still turned out great.

I love angel food cake. Especially with peanut butter and chocolate sauce.
