it does but you can get  sugar free angel food cake at some stores.  I've seen it.

I have never had Angel Food Cake with sugar in it not even before surgery. The sugar free ones taste better. IMO. But I have not had ANY since surgery. Im not brave YET! lol I cant even tolerate bread yet. lol

Just make sure you read the label.  Most angel food cake is not sugar free!  Fat free usually means more sugar, if you can believe it!

I never ever have bought angel food cake with sugar in it. I think it has a strange taste with sugar even before surgery. Wal*Mart and Giant carry the sugar and fat free ones and they are a great treat!!! ;o) And oh sooooooooooo YUMMY!
