Ingredients
1 angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Place them in a bowl with granulated sugar and let sit for 30 minutes to release juices.
2. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
3. Slice the angel food cake horizontally into 2 or 3 layers.
4. Spread a layer of whipped cream and strawberries with their juice between each cake layer.
5. Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the outside of the cake.
6. Garnish the top with halved or whole strawberries.
7. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for faster and fluffier whipped cream.
Assemble just before serving if you want cleaner slices.
Swap strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or peaches depending on what’s in season.
