Description

Delight in this light and refreshing Strawberry Angel Cake, featuring layers of airy angel food cake, sweet macerated strawberries, and fluffy homemade whipped cream. Perfect for a quick and elegant dessert that’s easy to assemble and ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Angel Food Cake

  • 1 store-bought or homemade angel food cake (about 10 inches)

Strawberries

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the strawberries)

Whipped Cream

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries, then place them in a bowl. Toss with granulated sugar and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. This process allows the strawberries to release their juices, creating a light syrup that enhances the cake’s flavor.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will be used as the creamy topping and layer in the cake.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Slice the angel food cake horizontally into 2 or 3 layers, or cut into cubes depending on your serving preference. Using a large serving dish, layer the angel food cake pieces with the macerated strawberries and whipped cream. Begin with cake, then strawberries, then whipped cream. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with a topping of whipped cream.
  4. Serve: Garnish the assembled cake with extra fresh strawberries and mint leaves for a fresh touch. Serve the cake chilled or at room temperature for best results.

Notes

  • You can use either a store-bought or homemade angel food cake based on your preference.
  • Letting the strawberries macerate enhances their natural sweetness and creates a syrupy juice that keeps the cake moist.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to ensure a stable, fluffy topping.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or liqueur to the strawberries before macerating.
  • This cake is best enjoyed within a day of assembly to maintain freshness.
