Description
A light and fluffy dessert made with angel food cake, juicy macerated strawberries, and fresh whipped cream—perfect for warm weather gatherings or a refreshing treat any time.
Ingredients
1 (10-inch) angel food cake
1 lb fresh strawberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional additional strawberries and mint for garnish
Instructions
1. Toss sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and let sit 20–30 minutes to release juices.
2. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Chill until ready.
3. Slice angel food cake horizontally into 3 layers using a serrated knife.
4. Place bottom layer on serving plate, spread whipped cream, add strawberries. Repeat for the second layer.
5. Top with the final cake layer, then cover with whipped cream and more strawberries.
6. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with extra berries and mint if desired.
Notes
Let strawberries sit long enough to develop syrupy juice—it boosts flavor.
Use cold heavy cream and a chilled bowl for fluffiest whipped topping.
Assemble shortly before serving to preserve structure and texture.
