Angel Food Cake

This angel food cake is light, fluffy, flavorful, and handmade, like all things at Sehnert’s! Made with flour from the Stafford County Flour Mill in Hudson, Kansas, just 3 1/2 hours down the road from the bakery, this Angel Food Cake is a staple during the Easter season, made according to their age-old recipe!

The Sehnert family has been baking since the 1500s, and in 1897 Richard Sehnert brought the family bakery from his native Germany to America. Ten branches of the Sehnert family opened bakeries in the US during the 1900s, but today only one remains. Sehnert’s Bakery has been a cornerstone of the southwest Nebraska town of McCook since being founded by Walt and Jean Sehnert in 1957, carried into the 21st century under the ownership of Walt and Jean’s son Matt and his wife Shelley, and today it’s owned by Sehnert family friends Andrew and Alix Ambriz, along with their sons. In 2019, the bakery was honored by the James Beard Foundation with their prestigious America’s Classics Award for their Bieroc.
