Ingredients
1 angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with sugar. Toss to coat and set aside for about 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the Cake: Slice the angel food cake into even layers. Place the first layer on a serving dish and spread a generous amount of whipped cream over it. Top with some of the macerated strawberries.
- Layer and Repeat: Continue layering the cake, whipped cream, and strawberries until all the ingredients are used up.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Cut the cake into slices and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a mixed berry version, add blueberries or raspberries.
- Add lemon zest to the whipped cream for a citrusy twist.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate on top.
