Pour the cake batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan.

After 3 hours, use a butter knife to gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan and the tube center.

Carefully release the cake from the pan and flip it over to cool completely.

Cut the cooled angel food cake into cubes about the size of a quarter.
