Hi Diane! When it comes to cast iron, while not impossible to bake with, you'll likely need to keep a close eye on things. This may not be the best recipe to use a pan like this since Angel Food can be a bit delicate. You'll want to make sure that the cast iron loaf pan is not non-stick. If it is well seasoned, that may prevent the batter from properly rising and setting during baking. You'll also need to keep an awareness around your bake time. Cast iron can take a while to heat up...but once it does it can retain that heat very well. With a delicate cake like Angel Food, you'll want to make sure that you are not over baking the edges before the center is set.
