• NOTE: As orig entered, accepted by the editing system & viewed by me, the 1st ingredient was a pre-made angel food cake - which was my intent. You can of course make an angel food cake, but I would go the easy route, use a pre-made cake & sprinkle the top surface of the cake w/choc sprinkles prior to freezing :-).
