Almost angel food cake from Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over (page 310) by Alison Roman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Alison Roman has confirmed it should call for 1 stick, 1/2 cup butter

    I also used one stick of butter, so only 1/2 a cup. This worked great! Served with whipped cream and strawberries.

    Error: 1 cup butter is not 1 stick, it's 2 sticks. Since angel food cake traditionally does not have fat, I assumed 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter was correct. I made 1/2 recipe (using 1/2 stick butter) in a 9"x13" sheet pan and it turned out fine. I used it in the "tiramisu" recipe, but think it would be great in trifle or strawberry "shortcake".
