Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature: This helps emulsify the batter evenly, resulting in a smooth and consistent texture.
- Use fresh peppermint extract: Fresh extract will provide a stronger and more vibrant peppermint flavor. Avoid using imitation extract, as it may not provide the desired flavor.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: Stiff peaks are essential for creating a light and airy angel food cake. Make sure to beat the egg whites gradually, increasing the speed from low to high.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter: Overmixing can deflate the egg whites and result in a dense cake. Use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Bake the cake in a tube pan: A tube pan is essential for creating a light and fluffy angel food cake. The center tube allows for even heat distribution, resulting in a evenly baked cake.
- Cool the cake upside down: Cooling the cake upside down helps prevent it from sinking and ensures a level top. Place the cake pan on a wire rack and let it cool completely before frosting or serving.

With its light and fluffy texture, delicate peppermint flavor, and stunning marbled appearance, this Peppermint Marble Angel Food Cake makes for an impressive dessert. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a sweet treat, this cake is sure to delight.
