Ready for a slice of heaven? Try angel food cake. This tall, tender, and timeless cake has a cloud-like texture and light flavor.

Flavor and tenderness are determined by cut of meat, what kind of exercise the muscles did, fat content, the age of the animal, and cooking doneness. Juiciness Juiciness, on the other hand, is all about the water content of the muscle tissue, which does not vary all that much across muscle types. Meat is just naturally juicy. The trick
