Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose

Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Angel Food Cake. A light and crisp sparkling rosé complements fluffy angel food cake - even more so if you're serving it with strawberries. Of course a sweet sparkling white wine will work too. The McBride Sisters Brut rosé with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.
