It is called "Angel Food Cake" as a contrast to the chocolate "Devil's Food Cake". The name came about because the cake is light and airy enough to be the dessert of choice for angels.

Some historians think that the first angel food cakes were probably baked by African-American slaves from the South because making this cake required a strong beating arm and lots of labor to whip the air into the whites. Angel food cakes are also a traditional African-American favorite for post-funeral feasting.

I'm not sure but I always thought it is called angel food because it is so light it could fly away or that it is so light that it's the only food angels can eat. I hope I've been some help.
